Fifty-Five See was a performance installation created and directed by Bonnie and creative partner, Louisa Raft, collectively known as [exist]ential. The piece was devised collectively alongside Kurt Pimblett, Romy Bradmore and Carlee Heise.

 

The thirty-five minute repeatable street installation was developed from a collective eleven hours of observations while riding Wollongong's Free Shuttle Bus - the 55C. With a focus on aesthetic movement sequences, the piece observes social constructs and habits of public transport, while conversations from real passengers make up the short moments of text.

 

Originally commissioned for the Wollongong City Council's 'Nocturnal Designs' festival in November 2015, the piece was then adapted for Wollongong's 'Viva La Gong' festival and PACT's Christmas fundraiser, 'PACT Unwrapped' in December 2015. In Febrary 2016, the piece was performed for the extended festival 'Noctural Arts' in Wollongong's CBD.
