[ bbi ]

this installation inspired by the controversy around the extension of the schönefeld airport to “berlin brandenburg international airport” (bbi). the project had been taken to court by the neighbours who claimed that it would have been easy to find a less populated area for the construction site. but there where other problems too: the question whether such a giant project was adecuate for a city as much in debt as berlin and also whether the airport had a chance to be comercially successfull, since it would be mainly used by low cost airlines.

the installation is made with fotocopied and tape-stuck paperelements:

it was located during 3 days in the underground passage of the schönefeld airport trainstation.

a general view of the situation:

at this point i would like to thank the deutsche bahn AG for their help! thanks a lot! amazing how in germany everybody is suportive towards art, cant say the same thing about barcelona (it is actually impossible to get a permission for intervention in the public space for individuals, even when you are an official art student!)
