Alexa Hoyer’s Transitscape documents the built environment along the proposed Interborough Express, following existing freight lines from Sunset Park, Brooklyn, to Jackson Heights, Queens, New York City. Framed through fences, bridges, and walls, the images explore the intersections of infrastructure, boundary, and void in the urban landscape. Each photograph in the book captures a point between the future stations.

Join Tiffany-Ann Taylor, Vice President for Transportation at the Regional Plan Association, for an in-depth discussion of the Interborough Express and its potential to transform mobility across Brooklyn and Queens. Photographer and filmmaker Nate Dorr will also speak about his project Triboro, a film that compresses a year and a half—and eleven miles—of photographs along the Bay Ridge Branch. Using rail ties as a spatial rhythm for his still images, Dorr recomposes the historic route from Brooklyn Army Terminal to Fresh Pond Junction into a meditative, cinematic journey.
