Press Release (PDF)
“If [Martin Kersels’] work has explored the sometimes fraught, always absurd relations between bodies and things, specifically bodies and machines, then part of what interests me is the automatism, the aspect of being human that’s outside our control. It’s the id, having a ball, compulsive, unstoppable, going on and on until it pulls its own plug out of the wall.”
– Leslie Dick, Contemporary Magazine, 2005
