The Orient-Express, epitome of stylish international travel, pulled in weekly at Folkestone Harbour until 2008. Tuttofuoco and two of his collaborators re-enacted the classic journey from Istanbul to Paris and Folkestone. This large sculpture, on the harbour arm, is the result of this journey. The individual 'letters' were chanced upon by the artist through social situations and incidents with people along the route. The best places from which to view the huge 'Folkestone' sculpture are from The East Cliff or Sunny Sands. Tuttofuoco was excited to discover that Folkestone is a significant point on one of the world’s most glamorous and thrilling journeys: the point that passengers on the Orient Express enter and exit the UK. The train never physically crossed the Channel so the journey between London and Folkestone, was always completed (or started) in an English version of the Orient Express.
