Description from the seller
Signed J.H. Engström - CDG/JHE
Steidl Verlag, 2008
For most people an airport represented a place of optimism. A place open, rich in expectations and encounters. Recent world events have changed all this. Today an airport is a completely different experience. Armed policemen, restrictions and safety regulations contribute only to increasing our sense of insecurity. The Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport has always been a special place for JH Engström. At the age of ten he moved to Paris with his parents. Charles de Gaulle was his first contact with the world beyond Sweden. The move created a very intense relationship with the city of Paris, but also with Charles de Gaulle and airports in general. For this project he spent three weeks isolated in a hotel inside the airport, photographing inside and between the terminals. The airport became a place for observing identities and relationships. With fiction, poetry and mystery he observes it. Raising questions of social, urban and architectural dimensions.
