Rone's 'Time' Installation at Melbourne's Flinders Street Station
Street artist Rone has created 'Time', a site-specific installation at the third floor of Flinders Street Station in Melbourne, opening October 28. The work, three years in the making, features a female figure—Rone's preferred subject—on a wall, alongside the station's large clock window. Comprising 11 pieces in grays and sepia tones, the installation evokes a mid-20th-century atmosphere. Rone describes it as a fantasy story transporting viewers to post-WWII Melbourne, when European migrants fueled the city's manufacturing industries. The work is an ode to the working-class life of that era and the station's past as a hub of work, learning, and social life.
