Introduction

A train station reminds people of nothing about a city except its name. It is like an enclave, tied to the ground by railroad tracks that reach afar, hosting countless travellers down the journey and into the distance.

Thousands of people are talking, but no one cares to listen, as people from all walks of life step in and out of this huge space, filling every empty seat. The waiting hall holds the travellers’ fear about flying, the unspoken goodbyes of strangers, the temptations of escaping from a city where some don’t feel belonged, the calls that are not answered, the excitement of a long-waited reunion...... And the platform next to it never waits. The long horn starts urging. The carriages pierce open the wind, passing the whole world behind, taking away the seasons of life as it keeps on running, never ending.

All those signs that were left here, born here and taken away from here will disappear one by one, forgotten in the blurred landscape as the train keeps on moving...

The railway station is a miniature of the human world. The roar of the wheels hides the sound of footsteps you have never heard before. It’s a dance in the station, a fantastical journey that transcends body and time.
