- Description:
- Commissioned specifically for the Philadelphia International Airport's B/C Ticketing area, Vito Acconci created a dramatic sculptural installation. At the end of the ticketing pavilion, the floors come loose. It's as if there's suddenly no where else to go, the floors take off in flight. The ground floor swoops up onto the mezzanine, while the mezzanine swoops down onto the ground floor. The flying floors release plantings from under ground, as if a jungle was there all the time waiting to spring out. As the floors fly they form seats for people within the plantings as well as up in the air and under the floor.
