Studio Follies: Aerial View

From a series of impossible airports. Since the rapid expansion of commercial aviation after the Second World War, air travel began as a luxury event, which at it’s height included supersonic inter-continental departures between New York, London and Pairs, has now slipped into a commodity service, with many airlines operating in economies of scale, eeking profits from competitors with equivalent fairs, with hidden baggage fees and ‘premium extras’. Along with this shift we have seen the proliferation of ever expanding undifferentiated runways and departure lounges, stateless non-places where travellers wander in semi-suspended consumer animation.
