"Burnham Beeches" by Lush

High in the Dandenong Ranges a sprawling art deco mansion lies empty, nature threatening to creep through its crumbling walls. Questions hang heavy in the dense silence, each room strewn with the dusty remains of a fallen dynasty and echoes of romance past. Through a cracked window, you spy the ghost of a smile on the face of a woman. Or do you? Here not much is certain, except that any signs of life have long since departed.

Empire is a multisensory installation set within the deserted Burnham Beeches residence 40 kilometres east of Melbourne. Curated over 12 months amid the changing seasons, Roné’s largest and most immersive installation to date sees his hauntingly powerful portraits augmented by sound, light, scent, interior and floral design elements, in addition to VR and AR technology.

I loved the comment from the girl in the ticket office when I visited who said “don’t touch the dust”“!
