From the press release:
New York, NY, May 2, 2012—There was a mention of a murder. Something roaming. Grant required a train. Not knowing who the characters were, she knew they would coexist in Vertigo and Mullholland Drive. Sans booked a night train from Munich to Berlin.
Grant sent text prompts to Sans, who sent back her photographs—faceless characters with tension and melancholy that alternate between two realities: black & white and color, the inside and outside, and stillness vs. motion.
Abe’s Penny met Grant late in 2011 and asked her to contribute. She requested Fette Sans to be her collaborator, a photographer Abe’s Penny editor Anna Knoebel met in 2006 while making the rounds at Miami Basel. Grant and Sans had met earlier this year in the East Village after following each other’s work online for over two years. As Sans put it, “Serendipity at its best. Meeting in person without setting up a time, but randomly bumping into one another.” Very much like you might on a train.

It’s hostile in that you’re trying to make somebody see something the way you see it, trying to impose your idea, your picture. It’s hostile to try to wrench around someone else’s mind that way. Quite often you want to tell somebody your dream, your nightmare. Well, nobody wants to hear about someone else’s dream, good or bad; nobody wants to walk around with it. The writer is always tricking the reader into listening to the dream.
