Event Note About his 3 part Kindertransport sculpture project at Liverpool Street Station, Frank Meisler cites: “What I wanted to do was reconstruct in a railway station, where people are rushing to and fro all the time and have no time for anything except their agenda — a picture of what it was like for a group of children to come out from wherever they came and just confront a moment of transition,” he says. “We arrived on the train as children. When we stepped out we were adults, because we had then been handed the responsibility for our own lives.” |
