From Dutch steel to exotic systems across the globe, Living Backwards documents years of work by Behind on commuter trains worldwide.
Known for his clean lines, bold colour combinations and instantly recognisable letter structures, Behind has built an extensive body of work on trains over the years. His style combines technical precision with strong concepts, creating pieces that reveal more the longer you look at them.
Living Backwards presents a carefully curated selection of work produced over the past several years in the Netherlands, Belgium, England, the United States and other countries. From classic panels to full-scale burners, every page showcases the consistency, creativity and dedication that have made Behind one of the most respected train writers of his generation.
But this book is more than a collection of photographs.
Alongside the artwork, Behind shares personal stories and experiences from the road, offering a rare glimpse into the moments behind the images. From memorable missions and unexpected encounters to reflections on years spent painting commuter trains, the book provides valuable context to the work.
The result is a publication that documents not only the pieces themselves, but also the life and experiences behind them.
