Bus Station project May 2000.
Part of “Intermedia” curated open submission exhibition specialising in site specific work, developed and run by Triskel Arts Centre.

A series of pin hole photographs of the City bus station, with exposure times from 2 minutes to two hours, dependant on the light conditions.
The prospective passengers, or visitors to the bus station would , in most cases pass through too fast to be recorded, allthough in one image, a person sat still in front of a bright window for 100 minutes allowing her profile to be recorded.

The object of the interior photographs was to record the collective of the users of the station, occupying the same seats or the same places in queues. The format of the cameras allow vertical structures to remain straight, but the horizontal wide angles allow the interior to form patterns, creating a symmetry we rarely notice with the naked eye. The exterior photographs allowed the building to be seen in relative isolation from neighbouring structures. One of the objective of the photographs was to record a collective image of the users of the station, occupying the same seats or the same places in queues, not capturing each individual, but a sort of composite of the travellers presence.

The photographs were printed and then daily added to the growing display on the windows of the bus station for the month of May allowing regular visitors to see the exhibition develop.

At the end of the month 30 images were displayed.
