For several months, I surveyed the territory around the airport area of Paris-Charles de Gaulle. As an explorer, I use adapted or unadapted, authorized or unauthorized voices to cross and explore the territory of flows, its interstices. In this zone under extreme control, permanently scanned by radar, I must be stealthy, transparent, light.
AEROFLUX is organized around 19 chapters. Each chapter presents a different experience, a journey, sites, an exploration. I cross interchanges, the airport, building sites, fields, villages, sometimes dead-end roads made me turn around... I cross a detention center, a burned street, the N104 national road under renovation, a motorcycle racing track, the traces of an evacuated roma camp, warehouse docks, a landfill area.
The Charles de Gaulle airport zone anticipates the city-country of the future in the Western countries, a vertiginous future. The very symbol of globalization, liberalism, and ecological disaster, this site offers me a setting, a playground and a place to write about an increasingly alarming situation.
