While shooting his first major photographic artwork, War Savings Streets 1970, Robert Rooney noticed the vehicle he was using to travel around — a Holden FJ belonging to his friend, musician Barry McKimm — appearing in the photographs. As someone fascinated by order and routine, Rooney was interested in the almost ritualistic process of parking the car, getting out to photograph a street and returning to the car to drive away. He subsequently created Holden Park 1, March 1970 & Holden Park 2, May 1970 1970, showing McKimm’s car parked in various streets around Melbourne. The locations for each photograph were randomly chosen through a pre-determined system: to find each site, Rooney placed a transparent sheet with dots over a street directory.
