The airport is a place between destinations, between daily life and travel, between home and where you are headed. Airports provide a good climate for alternative voyages, meditative or imagined. This installation was structured around ideas of temple architecture and was situated next to the airport chapel. The looping films rear-projected from the inside include images superimposed over rhythmic ordinary activity: hands washing under a stream of running water, and a woman turning her head so that her hair slips away from her face. On top of these looping films various landscapes appear and disappear, suggesting both an intimately imagined journey as well as an actual one.
