03 THE STORY

About this print

The Oasis Resort sits on a street with the building two-storey brick, the room doors opening onto continuous balcony walkways at each floor. The brick is pale, the trim a teal along the eaves and the balustrade. A pole sign at the kerb carries the property name in a serif face on a backlit panel, with a small palm-and-water graphic beside the lettering. A row of decorative palms in planters along the front of the property carries the standard postwar tropical landscaping; the trees are mature, casting long shadows in the early-morning light. The carpark is empty. A single security light at the office end throws hard cones across the asphalt.

The Oasis Resort was photographed at 02:43 on 7 April 2018, on the South Coast 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 and Princes Highway corridor, north on the Pacific, west on the Great Western. Drive-thru reception, parking in front of the rooms, low rise. Oasis-themed naming was standard along the Australian motor-inn strip, reaching for desert-island holiday glamour at the highway-side regardless of the local climate.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A single security light flares against the brick pillar between storeys, throwing hard white across the car park. Room 101. Grey metal door, curtains drawn tight. Dead leaves scatter the asphalt. A terracotta pot holds a small plant, still green. Beside it, a glazed blue pot with something dried and brittle. Reserved parking signs point in both directions. No cars. The upper walkway runs dark behind steel railings.

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.
