The Train

CHERNYSHEVA, Olga

Olga Chernysheva is a Russian artist who works primarily with photography and film. The Train (2003) is possibly her best-known video work. A camera moves through a Moscow intercity train, catching snippets of the passengers: commuters, musicians and poets alike. The black and white images are set to Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 21, giving the film a contemplative mood. The film culminates with a man moving through a carriage, collecting coins as he recites the 19th century poetry of Alexander Pushkin on a 21st century commuter train.

These images are stills from a film or video artwork. Artist films are often created with specific experiences or physical spaces in mind. As a result, and for additional copyright reasons, we’re currently unable to show the full work as it was intended online.


We have a duty of care to all our audiences. This website draws on legacy collections data. We recognise that some of this information may be outdated or discriminatory and we're currently working to review our records. If you have any questions or comments on an artwork, please contact us.
