@michaelsamuels_ presents two sculptural works that deepen his dialogue with Moynat through the intertwined themes of travel, time and memory. The first is constructed entirely from 1960s laboratory cases and trunks, forming a tall vertical structure that almost resembles a pencil standing on its end. The second is made from storage trunks from the now-defunct London Museum, closed in 2022, and includes a ladder, a smaller wooden case, a brightly coloured 1960s Scandinavian glass vase and an upside-down Bauhaus chair. For this project, the works move beyond travel into questions of time, storage, and human history. The trunks evolve into architectural, almost Brutalist forms, where material authenticity, patina and transformation become central. What began as a dialogue about travel evolves into an exploration of time, where Moynat’s trunks become architectures of memory and afterlives of objects, carrying the traces of human experience.
