586 Peter Fischli & David Weiss. Airports.

Erste Ausgabe. – 40 Tafeln, ohne Bildlegenden. – »However, it is not the social aspect of airports that attracts the artists‘ attention, but the means of transport itself – those silver birds sitting out on the runways, waiting to whisk the global traveller off to another culture. Although airports are the gateways to other countries, they themselves, and the sleek jets, conform to a global rather than local model of culture. It is this that Fischli and Weiss take note of, revelling in the sameness of, rather than the differences between, airports – staging posts between cultures yet, like other aspects of the contemporary culture of consumerism, in themselves largely anonymous and devoid of culture.« (Parr/Badger). – Dazu: 800 Views of Airports. Köln, Walther König 2012. Originalleinenband mit Schutzumschlag. Ohne jeden Text präsentieren die beiden Künstler ihr Archiv aus den Jahren 1987–2011.
