Subway2_small Produced for Weekend America, first broadcast on June 25, 2005

"More than a reflection of the inner monologue of strangers on a subway, Jonathan Mitchell’s piece Eye Contact, originally made in 2005 for Weekend America, explores the anxieties of coincidence and all the fears and awkwardness that can surround interactions in public spaces. Using improvising actors to represent multiple narrators, the piece is woven through with the anxiety of uncanny parallels fueling these uncomfortable, albeit everyday, scenarios." - Kyla Imberg, The [Un]observed
