In December, 2006 artist, Victoria Lawson, gave 36 commuters on Brunswick Street a letter informing them that she had taken a photograph of them as they were walking to work. The commuters always had a choice whether or not to participate, as the letter provided a two week window, and an email address, for their refusal. The photographs were taken for a photographic installation of vinyl images to be placed on columns and buildings on their regular route to work along Brunswick Street, remaining for two to three weeks. Eventually, they will see themselves and the others that surround them, from day to day, on the same route, walking to work, in this series of images placed along that route. Brunswick Street will become an informal gallery with images on the sides of buildings, in doorways and down alleys. It will become a public space that reflects the cultural and social life of the city.

Walking to Work, Series II, Elizabeth Street, was originally developed for and exhibited in +Plus Factors, an Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) exhibition in conjunction with Festival06 for the Commonwealth Games. Victoria Lawson is currently completing a PhD. in sculpture, performance and installation at Sydney College of the Arts. She has curated and participated in numerous solo, group and award exhibitions and interventions including, in 2006: +Plus Factors at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art; Our Investment at the Queensland Centre for Photography, and in 2005: Phatspace Ate at Phatspace in Sydney; Killing Time at the Soapbox Gallery in Brisbane and The Placard Project at Mori Gallery, Sydney. Her upcoming exhibitions include Walking to Work, Series III, Brunswick Street for QCP, Brisbane and Dream Merchant for Blacktown Arts Centre, Sydney.
