Contributed by Kate Whitehead.</p> <p>Shower Queue - A photo that I altered in PhotoShop and is taken from my flat in<br /> Mid-Levels looking into Victoria Prison of the female prisoners queueing up for a shower. I think its very unusual because where else in the world would you have a prison bang smack in the middle of the city and people be able to look out of their living room windows at the prisoners in their exercise yard? A piece of history, I think. And I wonder, in 2090, what will have happened to the Victoria Prison site.</p> <p>The prison, which was built in 1841, closed last month and they still haven't decided what to do with the space (I worry that the gorgeous site and historic buildings will be sold off to a developer.)</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0px;">Shower Queue is part of an series exhibited by Kate Whitehead at the Fringe Club in November 2005.</p><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.23hq.com/Memory_capsule/">hkfringe club</a></p> https://www.23hq.com/Memory_capsule/photo/390904 Fri, 03 Feb 2006 14:39:29 GMT
