statement:
A moving picture shows both sides of Kandos streets to record each building occupying the lots marked out on an original 1915 auction document. Flanking the looped video paintings restate this street plan view as a template that can be repeatedly expressed and modified.

statement:
The protagonist, a returning soldier hero, comes back to a hometown in painful transition and to its cement factory being reorganised for the massive new national effort. Fedor Gladkov’s novel Tsement (1925) provides a reference point for thinking about 21st century Kandos.
