Check Lap Kok (Hong Kong Airport) 21.00 01.12.19

We are delighted to announced the publication of our second film in Volume 11.1 , Chek Lap Kok (Hong Kong Airport) 21.00 01.12.19, a short video by Stephen Connolly which documents a walk to Hong Kong Airport from the Expo centre on the airport island, by means of slow travel, under makeshift conditions, and without carbon expenditure. The video offers a brief exploration of the materialities and grounded infrastructures of aviation at a moment of pandemic-led change and invites us to look anew at the familiar and banal physical geography of the airport and how we move within it, drawing on Lefebvre’s Production of Space and theories of ‘Spatial Cinema’.
