Fortune Teller - (sandown park)A boarded up ticket box becomes a phantom space. The ticket seller/fortune teller while pretending to be prophetic, promises nothing more than just another everyday train experience.
Each day when one catches the train they are embarking on a game of chance, will they return, what happens to them ? where are they going ?
In Martine’s work, the old unused ticket box becomes a site for a mysterious ticket seller issuing tarot card like train tickets to the unsuspecting commuter.
As one peers through the various peepholes at Sandown park, we pick up bits of the story, fragments of information and train tickets that take on a whole other meaning.
