This book underlines the hypergraphic dimension of Gruyaert’s work, as the airport is a concentrate of his visual vocabulary: intensity of color, geometry of form, transparency, play of light and reflection.

“I’ve always been fascinated by places where people wait. I like to observe their movements, their postures, their glances, the groups they form, the situations created in these moments when time seems suspended. Airports are privileged places because they possess an exceptional theatricality. The architecture, furniture and colors create a stage-like setting for a host of extras. It’s a show that I don’t try to understand, but whose visual dimension attracts me irrepressibly.” Harry Gruyaert

Harry Gruyaert will once again be on hand to sign this fabulous book on October 24, at Artazart.
