Out of Time

The Fringe Festival continues but I missed my chance to visit the Art Gallery for the final days of Time Rone.

Time Rone was a very weird installation consisting of 12 rooms.

It's best described as a baby ghost town or a large haunted house.

Like Chernobyl where all the people are gone but the things from their daily lives in the 1950s are left untouched.

An old library (love at first sight) a sewing factory room, a typist pool room, a telephone exchange, post office sorting room and old pharmacy were some of the spooky delights in store.

It was the cobwebs that impressed me most. How on earth could they make this new installation look so old.
Poor spiders must have been working overtime.

Turned out the cobwebs were fake but the rest was all real.


I did actually see it twice last year but liked it so much I had intended to go back.

But there are so many freaky Fringe Festival temptations so I really could not justify forking out forty silver sickles for something I'd already seen.


Today was also the Chinese New Year festival. Sadly not as snaky as I'd expected.

Next adventure is the Soweto gospel choir.

I'm quite the culture vulture this summer.
