03 THE STORY

About this print

Multicoloured light panels in pink, green and yellow hang the length of a corridor at the Bankstown RSL, their faded colours holding against the deterioration below. Light spills from 5 doorways along the right wall, crossing a cracked tiled floor thick with dust and debris. A red ceiling carries recessed fixtures and ventilation grilles, and a brick wall closes the far end. The panels are the most physically present thing in the frame.

Coloured lighting panels like these were standard in the larger 1960s and 1970s entertainment venues across suburban Sydney, run along the circulation routes as much as the rooms themselves. By the time this photograph was made in February 2019, the club had closed and the floor beneath them had gone to dust and debris. The Bankstown RSL was demolished in March 2019. The panels were scrapped with the rest of the building.

The series

Bankstown RSL

2019 · 30 photographs

On 17 September 1928, 26 returned servicemen of the 1914 to 1918 war founded the City of Bankstown RSL sub-Branch. The clubhouse at 1 Meredith Street opened in 1955, with blue walls under bright red ceilings. The underground sports complex originally held a swimming pool, a squash court, a gym, and a sauna.
