    The Machine Eclipsed by the Station

    Towards Gallery
    Simon Shim-Sutcliffe’s The Machine Eclipsed by the Station presents a new installation by the Canadian artist based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The exhibition space features a large, red, psychedelic mural overlaid with framed photographs of concrete remnants from the ruins of the Malpasset Dam. Together, the works trawl the images and objects that have facilitated economies of extraction, past and present, metonymically mimicking the infrastructures of capital.
