Airports (Special edition with print)

One of the 120 copies of a special edition with the signed C-print. 40 four-color plates, with “sophisticated snapshots”, taken in different airports all over the world. Also designed by Peter FISCHLI and David WEISS. “It is this that Fischli and Weiss take note of, revelling in the sameness of, rather than the differences between, airports – staging posts in between cultures yet, like other aspects of the contemporary culture of consumerism, in themselves largely anonymous and devoid of culture” (Gerry Badger).
