David Lawrey & Jaki Middleton,Time Trap, kinetic sculpture, 2015. Video: the artists. 

Time Trap is a miniature embodiment of the mythical ‘ghost train’, carrying with it the requisite associations of wonder, fear and mystery. The work refers to the locomotive's historical association with enlightenment and human progress, and interrogates the notion of progress by creating a narrative that only moves forward through a repetition of the past.
