The Tweed Street Tour will focus on D6 / D5 bus route into Abbey view from Dumfermline. As starting point we will ask the people who live on Tweed Street, this is one of the street lines the route, to photograph the windows arrangements of the houses. For this initial stage I have invited the artist Marisa Privitera to engage with the residents of Tweed Street and to create a piece of work. We will see what happens over the next year.
Nicola Atkinson Does Fly, Abbey View Artist
My photographic project in Abbeyview will be to document the D6/D5 bus route. I am particularly interested in capturing moments of daily life where people are gazing out and watching the life outside, whether it be from their front step or from inside the bus. I am drawn to the idea that when on a bus, the world outside is like a film reel zooming past. Our eyes fix on something that captures our attention, or peaks our interest only for seconds as we travel on. Similarly, people stand in their homes looking out windows, or sit on the front steps taking in the passing traffic.
I will spend some time over the next two weeks walking the bus route
through Abbeyview, taking pictures of residents in their windows
or outside their homes. I will also spend some time on the buses
photographing passengers.
