03 THE STORY

About this print

A hallway runs through one of the floors at Kuwashima Orthopaedic Clinic. Light enters from a window at one end and falls across the floor along the length of the passage. The walls are painted plaster, the paint peeling back to bare plaster in patches across the run. Dust covers the floor. Doors line both sides of the hallway, opening to the patient rooms beyond.

Kuwashima Orthopaedic Clinic sits in Yubari, southern Hokkaido. Brett's photography of the building forms part of the wider Lost Collective documentation of Yubari, alongside the Streetscapes of Yubari and Shimizusawa Thermal Power Plant series. The city's population peaked at over 100,000 in the 1960s during the coal mining boom and fell below 10,000 after the mines closed.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

Vinyl floor tiles have lifted and shattered across the corridor of Kuwashima Hospital's upper level. Room 31 sits to the left, its door open. Room 32 beside it. Pale green paint covers the lower walls. Ceiling panels sag where moisture has worked through from above. A fire alarm disc, still fixed to the right wall, marks the only red in a palette of grey and dull white. Weak light reaches the hallway from the rooms on either side. The air looks thick with dust and damp.
