THE OUTDOOR MUSEUM…
Narrow. Dingy. Dirty. Uninviting. vaguelly threating in their anonymity. What lies along their length? What happens here? They are the liminal spaces between buildings. Most people don’t notice them. They walk straight past.Lanes, alleyways. They are what I am talking about. Like this one in downtown Hobart, Tasmania. I notice them. Occasionally I stop and look, take a photo to capture their unnoticed presence.
How do you photograph laneways to capture their essential emptiness? They offer linear perspective but sometimes their is no focal point feature for that perspective to lead the eye to. Just the anonymity of an uninteresting building at their end.
Laneways offer no architectural revelation. This one was different. It offered a splash of graffiti, a burst of colour to relieve its drabness.

“Round by where the old flyover was, there’s an #underpass and it’s a quicker route [to the #city centre] but at your #peril."
“I find that most ways to get into #town you have to go through some shady #alleyways, so it is hard, especially like as a young #female, to walk in those areas. And when winter comes around it gets darker and harder to walk around safely so I get a friend to accompany me.”
