“The book com­pi­les pho­to­graphs of air­port-arche­ty­pes across tran­sit spa­ces bet­ween Belgium and Norway. While visi­ting each other regu­lar­ly as friends, the the­ma­tic over­lap beca­me incre­a­sin­gly appa­rent. Spaces of shi­ny grid-like surfa­ces, arti­fi­ci­al light, uni­ver­sal ico­no­grap­hy that clash with ima­ges of dis­tant des­ti­na­ti­ons and wide­ning win­dows facing tar­mac. Within the­se gene­ric inte­ri­ors, see­min­gly deta­ched from iden­ti­ty, time, cli­ma­te, and human sca­le, a stran­ge­ly recog­ni­sa­ble atmos­p­he­re emer­ges, one uni­que­ly tied to the expe­rien­ce of being a passenger.”
