Darren Almond is an artist who describes himself as an ex-trainspotter, he is interested in, travel, time, memory and finds reassurance in timetables. His installation Terminus (originally 1999), moves 26 socialist era bus stops from Auschwitz in Poland to a gallery in Berlin. There is something uncanny about external waiting structures placed in an interior, but a poetic way to suggest the experience of waiting in Berlin to travel to Auschwitz. A good video representation of the installation
