Seeking focus transports us back to the nostalgic yesteryear of 1900 RONE Time Exhibit’

In this episode of Seeking focus transports us back to the nostalgic yesteryear of 1900, as we go out live on the road and visit the street art ‘Time Exhibit’, produced by Rone (aka Tyrone Wright). The exhibit is housed within the upper levels of Melbourne’s iconic and heritage listed Flinder Street Station, including the mystical Ballroom. The audio was recorded live using the Rode GO II wireless TX (transmitter only) units. Cycloramas were giant 360-degree paintings that were mounted inside large purpose built circular buildings. These paintings were generally recreations of historical events such as famous battles. Cycloramas emerged in the 1700s and became a popular in Australia between 1889-1906 before cinema rendered them obsolete. In Melbourne there were at least two such buildings – one on Victoria Parade, Fitzroy (now St Vincent’s hospital) and the other built in 1891 between Portland lane and little Collins st (now Georges Apartments). This building’s structure still remains, and is visible when viewing it from directly above.
