Kris Martin - Mandi XXI

Kris Martin
This cycle of death and rebirth, or departure and arrival, is also evident in Mandi III (2003). A black flipboard of the kind usually found in airports and train stations, is programmed to click and flip over randomly, but as it bears neither numbers nor letters it gives no information, no indication of where to go. It has been relieved of its original purpose; this defamiliarization offers the opportunity to reflect on the absence of fixed boundaries, on beginnings and ends of temporality.
