About this print
From the field notes
A curved wall of louvre and casement windows wraps around the room in a wide semicircle. The concrete floor is bare and polished to a dull sheen. Light enters evenly across the glass, casting soft reflections on the ground. Two fluorescent fittings hang from a textured ceiling. Wall-mounted air conditioning units sit inert at either end. Beyond the glass, eucalypts and garden canopy press close. The room is completely empty.
— Brett Patman
The series
Callan Park
Callan Park opened in 1885 as the Callan Park Hospital for the Insane, on land at Rozelle in Sydney's Inner West. The Kirkbride Complex was designed by colonial architect James Barnet and superintendent Frederick Norton Manning, intended as a working example of the more progressive psychiatric care principles of the period. The hospital was reorganised through the twentieth century and many of the wards remain. Brett photographed across multiple visits between 2016 and 2018.
