The Traveler
The Origin
The Passenger reimagined for Rotterdam's metro. Iggy Pop's hypnotic bassline now rattles like a tram over the switches, punk melancholy for public transit.

Rotterdam 2025
We are all travelers in the smart city. Checked in, tracked, but mentally elsewhere. The Traveler is about moving without purpose in a city that optimizes everything.

Hey!
Hey!
I am the traveler. And I ride, and I ride. I ride
through the harbors. I see the cranes light up along the Maas.
Yeah, a clear sky and a full moon. I
have driven past the darkness of the city. And I ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, along the Oude Binnenweg.
...
And I ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, over De Witte
de With. And I ride, ride, ride, ride. Grab your headphones. There's music hanging in the air. Turn
it on. Turn it louder. Maastown is about to blow.
And I ride, and I ride, and I ride,
and I ride, ride, ride, ride, and I ride.
As the Traveler. As the Traveler.
