Docks Open Art Commissions: Docks Photobooth of Futures

Docks Photo Booth of Futures is a participatory portrait installation by local artist Kevin Audience designed to spark imagination and local pride through creative visual storytelling.

The project invites residents and passers-by to step into a pop-up photobooth where they are photographed and then transformed using “future filters”: layered edits that blend archival imagery, futuristic motifs, and symbolic elements representing hopes for the community’s future.

Participants see their portraits instantly on screen, creating a sense of play, connection, and reflection. The booth uses a lightweight backdrop inspired by the area’s industrial past, simple props to spark interaction, and professional photography equipment to deliver high quality results.

The final portraits will form part of a digital archive, contributing to a collective vision of what’s to come. Rooted in place and people, the project explores memory, identity, and possibility, one image at a time.
