Coney Island Avenue is located in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. It is long roughly five miles, beginning at Brighton Beach and traveling north to Prospect Park. Taking the B68 bus line I realized how interesting Coney Island Ave is. The bus runs the entire street, connecting the Prospect Park area and Downtown Brooklyn. As the bus moves from north to south, the store signs change from English to Arabic to Hebrew to Cyrillic and the passengers’ clothing changes as well. In the same way, depending on where you are along the route, people of different ethnic groups are constantly mixing. A single bus trip reveals an incredible spectacle of everyday multicultural life. This was the inspiration for the idea of the project: to produce a series of observations of people in their normal daily lives with each individual also reflecting their own personal world.
