Approach (1999)

Overview

Filmed at John F. Kennedy Airport, Approach catches passengers arriving from long-haul flights as they enter the terminal looking for contact with someone familiar. The footage was shot on camcorders equipped with telephoto lenses and the footage is slowed down to emphasize the moment of transition that each subject experiences as they arrive. The installation consists of 4 screens, with a 1-second delay between the identical images in each screen.
