An exhibition that can only be seen from the top deck of a bus.

Photographers Martin Parr and JJ Waller come together with this ground breaking exhibition of super sized photographs fixed flat to the roofs of many of the city’s bus shelters.

Parr, exhibiting in Brighton for the very first time, and Waller, a born and bred Brightonian, share a passion both for photographing the seaside and for exhibiting in unusual locations. This collaboration, where each photographer has selected photographs from the others archives, achieves both.

Beside the Seaside presents photographs in a format that is a world first. This exhibition is free to discover with your bus ticket or pass.
