The demolition firm of Whelan the Wrecker was a Melbourne institution for a hundred years (1892-1992). Here Robyn Annear uses their demolition sites as portals to explore layers of the city laid bare by their pick axes and iron balls. Peering beneath the rubble, she brings to light stories about Melbourne's history.
