Inside Geelong B Power Station, dark water collects on the industrial floor. The still surface reflects the skeletal remains of forgotten machinery and structural elements, creating a distorted view of the derelict interior.

Standing water covers the corridor floor, black and still enough to mirror the graffiti-layered walls on both sides. Spray paint in green, red, cyan and purple covers every surface from skirting to ceiling line. A doorframe with no door opens into a second room where daylight cuts in hard. Aerosol cans float near the base of the right wall. The ceiling sags with moisture damage. Brick and plasterboard sit side by side where internal linings have been stripped away.

The series
Geelong B Power Station
Geelong B Power Station opened on 8 October 1954 in North Geelong, on the edge of Corio Bay. It was a "packaged" station with components imported from the United States, and at 30 megawatts across three 10 MW boiler-generator sets it was the largest power station in Victoria outside the Latrobe Valley. The design was unusual: rather than housing the boilers in a conventional boiler house, all three sat out of doors except for the operating faces, cutting construction costs. The State Electricity Commission of Victoria ran the station for 16 years before the Latrobe Valley brown-coal expansion left it for peak loads only. It closed in 1970. The building still stands. In 2014 it hosted an art project curated by Ian Ballis, and has since been formalised as a legal-graffiti precinct within the Pivot City heritage area.
