About this print

A long, empty corridor stretches through one of the buildings at Callan Park. The walls of the corridor are plastered and painted, the paint peeling in patches and revealing the earlier layers underneath. The floor is timber boards along the length of the run, scuffed at the centre by years of working use. The corridor extends to a door at the far end.

The Kirkbride Complex at Callan Park was built between 1880 and 1884 as ten ward blocks (five male, five female) plus official buildings arranged on a main cross axis. The wards were linked by a continuous covered veranda. The complex was Australia's first purpose-built hospital for moral therapy. The hospital was proclaimed in 1878 and closed in 2008, after merging into Rozelle Hospital in 1976.

From the field notes

One of the long corridors of the main ward.

The series

Callan Park

2016–2018 · 66 photographs

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.
