According to travel psychology, the appearance of similarity between any two places is directly proportional to the distance between them.

What is nearest seems absolutely dissimilar, totally foreign. Often the most striking similarities are ones we find – according to travel psychology – clear on the other side of the world.

Inspired by this notion I focused my attention on two communities either side of the Earth to continue my constant exploration of youth.

Keeping my focus tight I positioned myself at the key meeting place where young people would flock to socialize. The Cracker in Tipton and 10873 miles away in Topside in Gagebrook, Tasmania

Island Symmetries begins at a vast wasteland standing between two estates. ‘Tibby’; is a cul de sac of residential houses that curls around a small playground. Kids push prams with their hands high above their heads or zip past on chunky bikes.

On the other side of the world, literally, in ‘Gagey’ Tasmania the kids are also on the edge of adolescence. The tipping point. They’re bored, wild-eyed. They ride BMXs and dirt bikes roar through the playgrounds, their helmet-less riders pulling wheelies.
Just like on the Cracker the kids swig back energy drinks faster than water. Dilated pupils and excited squeals follow.

Mostly these kids are still soft, polite. Sometimes they call me ‘miss’.
