Elle Pérez has unveiled public art for New York City bus shelters.

The outdoor advertising firm — which manages the ads for bus shelters in New York City — has donated use of the space for a new collaboration with the Public Art Fund. Kicking off the project is photographer Elle Pérez, a native New Yorker who mined their personal history in the city for “From Sun to Sun.”

The collaboration also presented the opportunity to show their work in a setting where viewers have the opportunity for prolonged engagement with the photographs. “That became the handshake for our group of friends,” says Pérez. “When we were photographing it and [Jay P. Fury] was like, ‘It’s so funny, now people I’ve never even met do the same thing; they know how to do [the handshake].’ And it’s really interesting to think about how that can travel throughout people, but can also be a kind of traceable history or alternative history that wouldn’t necessarily be recorded otherwise.
