Airports by Peter Fischli and David Weiss is an artistic work about those perpetually modern and extremely popular places where the touristic essence of our world-consciousness, and at once the insatiability of the hunger for the global, find their clearest expression. Airports is 40 at-first-glance ordinary tourist views of the heavily, sluggishly resting metallic bodies of the aircraft themselves, of the technical arsenal, but above all of the spatiality around this arsenal, of the expanding vastness and emptiness, of the airfield itself, which here becomes the essence of this place.
