It is a truly stunning work, preserving for all time the work of the humans who dug Boston's Big Dig - and in that sense is a modern version of Hine's Empire State Building project. But at the same time there is much of HCB's surrealism about the photographs, with shapes, shadows, and bizarrely contrasting elements dominating many of the images. B.
