Subway Yearbook Photos - M.A.P. WINNER
Winner of the Audience Award in the Metropolis Art Prize 2009.

For our latest Improv Everywhere mission, we installed a photography studio on a random subway car. We claimed that the MTA had hired us to take photos of every single person who rides the subway and that we'd be producing a yearbook at the end of the year. Most people were happy to pose for us, and the resulting photos show just how diverse New York subway riders can be.

Improv Everywhere: No Underpants Subway Ride
In Improv Everywhere's most daring mission yet, over 1,000 people rode the subway without underwear or pants in New York City. Their annual No Pants Subway Ride has been a tradition for years, and they decided it was time to up the ante. Riders spread out over four different subway lines to surprise and delight everyday New Yorkers riding the train. (And yes, we regret to inform you that this mission was in fact Improv Everywhere's April Fools Mission 2010. No genitals were exposed in the making of this video. But some unflattering flesh-colored underwear may have been worn).

Improv Everywhere: No Pants 2010
On Sunday, January 10th, 2010 over 5000 people took off their pants on subways in 44 cities around the world. In New York, Improv Everywhere's 9th Annual No Pants! Subway Ride had over 3000 participants, spread out over six meeting points and ten subway lines.

Improv Everywhere: Uncensored - No Underwear Subway...
Behind the pixels: For April Fools Day 2010, Improv Everywhere uploaded a new video that made it look like they had staged a No Underwear Subway Ride (in the tradition of their annual No Pants Subway Ride event). The video was a hoax. Although they claimed that 1000 people had exposed their genitals on the train, they actually just filmed 20 actors wearing skin-colored underwear, and then pixelated the footage to make them look naked.
