03 THE STORY

About this print

The Ibis Budget Gosford sits at West Gosford, three storeys of grey concrete behind a clipped hedge. Square windows repeat across the facade in a grid, an awning covers the entry, and the car park is floodlit. It is one of the chain-branded properties included in the series because the building matched the motor-inn typology.

The Ibis Budget Gosford was photographed at 23:20 on 4 April 2018, on the north run of Hotel Motel 101. The project covered 101 traditional Australian motor inns across three sweeps out of Sydney in late March and early April 2018: south on the Hume, north on the Pacific to the Central Coast, west on the Great Western. Drive-thru reception, parking in front of the rooms, low rise. The Ibis Budget brand sign sits over a building that meets the project's typology test, the underlying motor-inn form preserved beneath the franchise badging that the chain has applied.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A two-storey motel facade, shot straight on at night. Aluminium louvre awnings run horizontal across both levels, casting thin shadows against pale rendered walls. The ground floor is painted dark teal. A single security floodlight burns white between the upper windows, flaring hard into the lens. Below, a clipped box hedge separates the building from a concrete car park. Three dracaenas stand between the windows. Every curtain is drawn. No cars. No people. Concrete stained with damp.

The series

Hotel Motel 101

2015–2020 · 103 photographs

Hotel Motel 101 is a series of one hundred and one motels photographed in 2018 across three runs out of Sydney. North to the Central Coast, west through the Blue Mountains to the central western tablelands, south down the NSW South Coast. The count crept up from a planned seventy toward the round number, plus one for safety.
