GONE TOMORROW
RUTLEDGE LANE, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
Image Number 235
Hosier and Rutledge Lanes are bluestone cobbled laneways and the precinct is a celebrated landmark in Melbourne mainly due to its diverse urban art. The graffiti-covered walls and art-installations have become a popular backdrop for fashion and wedding photography. Hosier Lane is also known for its avant garde cocktail lounges.
No graffiti, however creative, remains in place for long. New street artists obliterate the work of their predecessors. This means that any photograph of Hosier Lane is truly a snapshot in time.
