In Melbourne during the early nineties Hobson explored a number of historic inner city industries. These were remnants of Melbourne’s industrial past, most were operating in a manner that was to be their final hour. Hoffmann Brickworks, Donaghy Ropes, Yarra Falls, Rose St Foundry, Ajax Fastners, Pentridge Prison, Hensilite Bowls and others. The resulting medium format images–approximately 2 500–now represent the ghost employees who bore the heavy weight of changes to the global economy and shifting trends in industrial relations during the nineties.
