MERRY-GO-ROUND
MERRY-GO-ROUND, interactive sculpture, FROM ARRIVAL TO DEPARTURE exhibition, Larnaca International Airport, Cyprus, 2012
HAVE A MERRY GOOD JOURNEY
Similar to an airport departure lounge, the Merry-go-Round is a place of transition and conversion; its ride being momentary or transient and through its rotation on a fixed axis, it simultaneously imitates time creating a symbolic connection in the journey and the experience between people and places.
When sitting on the Merry-go-Round the traveller can study a large number of used postcards showing various locations, cities and countries, at various time periods. This work metaphorically links on a visual level the present user to past travellers and their destinations, in essence, their experience.
