RYAN GANDER

I'm never coming back to London again is an iteration of Ryan Gander’s animatronic works set in a wall. In this particular example, Euro banknotes of the denomination of 20 are set in a 'mouse hole' broken in the gallery wall, close to the floor. Dust and pieces of plaster are scattered below the hole as if it was punched through just a moment ago. The robotics of the work slightly moves the banknotes, and the speaker plays an mp3 file with rustling sound. The resulting effect suggests that there might be a small animal, perhaps a rodent behind it, or hints to another imaginary, playful scenario.
