Coast to Coast is a photography exhibition of work created during journeys by Parkinson across the United States of America, capturing analogue and digital photography of the landscape, translating these into a display for Inspace City Screens, lighting up the dark wintery skies of Edinburgh.

A photography exhibition by Caroline Parkinson of work largely created on a three-week road trip in July 2023 through the United States of America (USA) – from New York to Niagara, through Chicago, Dallas to Oklahoma, through to Colorado, down to Las Vegas, through the length of Arizona, to San Diego and LA. This 2023 collection is supplemented with images from three previous trips to specific places to create a deeper narrative within this set of work. The images and small dataset from which this work emerges comprise slide and black and white photographic film, and a small selection of digital images. These have been scanned and translated into large scale digital representations to allow for panoramic viewing of this journey through the landscape via projection onto Inspace City Screens.
Caroline is part of a photography network in Arizona – Through Each Others Eyes, where professional photographers exchange and showcase work made in each other’s countries. It is in this spirit that the aim of the exhibition is to light up the dark of Scotland’s winter nights with warm images from USA taking viewers in Edinburgh’s streets to different cities and warmer landscapes using the unique City Screens at Inspace.
Delivered in partnership with Sam Healy, Ray Interactive.
