Signed; Harry Gruyaert - Last Call - 2019

This book emphasizes the hypergraphic dimension of Gruyaert's work because the airport is a concentration of his visual vocabulary: intensity of colors, geometry of forms, transparency, play of light and reflections.

"I have always been fascinated by places where people are waiting. I like to observe their movements, their postures, their looks, the groups they form, the situations that are created in these moments where time is suspended. Airports are privileged places because they have an exceptional theatricality. The elements of architecture, the furniture, the colors compose a decor where evolves, as on a stage, a cohort of extras. It's a show that I don't try to understand but whose visual dimension attracts me irrepressibly." Harry Gruyaert
