This video contains some great observations and information about how Hido’s works links with Windsor’s early experiences of being creeped out in an abandoned building. He talks of the liminal spaces and places where people are alone and disconnected from everyone around.
Glenside Hospital, as it was known from 1967, previously the Public Colonial Lunatic Asylum of South Australia, Parkside Lunatic Asylum and Parkside Mental Hospital, was a complex of buildings used as a psychiatric hospital in Glenside, South Australia. Since the 1970s the original site has been subdivided and parcels of land sold off, largely for housing. The large administration building fronting the side was refurbished to house the Adelaide Studios of the South Australian Film Corporation in 2011, and the old P&O Ward now houses Adelaide Central School of Art. The site is sometimes referred to as “the old Glenside Hospital”, the “Glenside Hospital historical precinct” or “Glenside Campus”. A new building houses Glenside Health Services at the southern end of the site, along with new wards and facilities.
