120 km/h finished by Lee differs from Jan Saudek's best-known works because the subject, a child shot from behind, watches spellbound as a train whizzes past him sitting on the arm of a level crossing. What it has in common with the other works is, on the one hand, the pictorial intervention that transforms the black and white print into a colour photograph and, on the other, the dreamy atmosphere that pervades it.
