As the capital of Superman’s home planet – Krypton, Kandor served as inspiration for Mike Kelley for a twelve-year long project and meditation on themes of cultural memory, passing time, and visions of utopia.
“I like that Kandor has the sci-fi element. It’s a prototypical “city of the future.” When I researched it, I discovered that Kandor had never been drawn the same way twice in the Superman comics. It was such an unimportant part of the Superman mythos that a fixed city plan was never developed. I thought that was an interesting paradox – that all of my different models of this city were supposed to represent the same place”.
