Bowling Green

Zach DeSart

A Way to Go

A new photography lightbox series at the Bowling Green station (4, 5) showcases the work of New York City photographer Zach DeSart.

A Way to Go features seven large-scale photographs that depict modes of travel and motion through landscapes ranging from urban to rural and from desert to glacial. A close-up reveals a tire track on a dirt road, a muted countryside is viewed from an air balloon, or a commuter is seen in the subway waiting in a highly decorative station in Istanbul. DeSarts meditations on travel are an exploration of place and experience, with each image related to movement and ways to go: the distances we travel and the ways to get there. The poetic images serve as counterpoint to the commuters and tourists passing by, in transit, as all are engaged in the move from one place to another.

DeSart received a BFA in photography from Savannah College of Art and Design. A Way to Go is generously sponsored by Digitalplus.
