Tony's Journey is based on the introductory sequence to The Sopranos. The camera accompanies Tony Soprano on his drive from the New Jersey Turnpike to his comfortable suburban home, taking the viewer through industrial landscapes and neighborhoods familiar to fans of the show.
I took 22 images from this sequence and reproduced them on panels of varying widths to convey the fragmentation of speed and the abrupt changes of scenery. Once the panels were joined together some of the images were then merged to soften the verticality of the piece.
The images, each one a fleeting glimpse, are arranged to convey the linear narrative of the journey.
