ABOUT

Emblematic architectures of twentieth-century modernity, vestibules of the aerial world, prestigious entrances to cities, airports today present themselves to travellers as transit infrastructures, articulated around flow logics, but imperceptible because they are so similar. Airports are no longer seen as bridges stretching between the earth and the sky, as the setting for the micro-dramas of departure and arrival, but rather as the routine, thankless, controlled environment of traffic patterns that are becoming ever more developed with the globalisation of our economies and societies. As places or non-places with uncertain ramifications, the Terminal P exhibition looks first and foremost at airports as cultural constructions, as ordinary infrastructures where tourism and surveillance, migration and trade, terrorism and art are juxtaposed in an environment regulated by a range of technologies... The abstract categories of globalisation here become entangled and concretised in architecture, spaces, screens and flows.
