Anita Mikas & Markus Liehr, Express Delivery Syndrome; The Balcony, The Hague

In The Balcony’s shop window Anita Mikas and Markus Liehr show Express Delivery Syndrome.

Mikas’ and Liehr’s works show the estrangement Far Eastern mass production brings to us Westerners.

Of course exotic mass production has been a fascination with Westerners ever since the first big international  trade fairs in the 19^th century, but Mikas and Liehr add new refinement to it, making it more attractive than it could ever have been in real.

These 19^th century trade fairs in mind, one could even think of the end of an era, with air traffic having come to a virtual standstill these days.
