Wait, we’ll meet again
in collaboration with Simo Brotherus, Ingold Airlines and Robert Back.
The installation was shown at Platforms 10 year anniversary exhibition, To have/To Own,
at Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art in Vaasa, Finland.
4.12.2011–31.1.2012.
Longing, casual meetings, boredom, fear and contemplation are a few of the conditions you often experience in the waiting area of an airport. Passing time on the way from one airport to another creates tension, expectations and, concurrently, a relaxed state, a transition from something familiar to something less so. In such a situation we own only ourselves, nothing else. We are on our way, sitting passively in a public space. At departure these feelings are oft en characterized by a worry of not knowing what lies ahead, while when arriving, the direct opposite, the comfort in being home.
