Chris Marker's 1962 sci-fi short La Jetée is as close as I've come to the feeling of inhabiting someone else's dreams. It's told entirely through black-and-white photographs, except for a few seconds of live action that curiously feel like the moment in the film where time stops. The French photographer and filmmaker, now 89, brings time to a halt again with "Passengers," a series of 200 color photos (his first) taken on the Paris Métro from 1008 to 2010. Alone or surrounded, each of Marker's subjects is lost in a private world—and yet, once again, you inhabit it with every one of them.
