The metro in almost any city can be a metaphorical zoo at times. But the Animetro series by photographers Clarisse Rebotier and Thomas Subtil takes that concept to a much more literal place.

The series imagines a magical world that toes the line “between photo realism and dreams”, taking the rather mundane world of public transportation and “approaching [it] with amusement.”
