Tiffany LiI don’t know how to explain it, but time works differently in airports. 5 minutes and 5 hours are somehow the same. Your flight is delayed but arrives early. The carpets are from 1980. The water machines are from 2045. It is always happy hour. You have always been in the airport.
Kadin@tiffanycli I have always wanted to produce a version of Sartre's "No Exit" set in an airport departure area.
Just a row of those weird airport seats, an empty service desk and closed gate door in the background, and a "Your security is important to us…" message played on a PA system every 60 seconds.
There's no place more purgatorial/liminal than an airport.
