Baggage Fright
Madrid, Tuesday 27th of May 2025
Baggage Fright is set in the industrial afterlife of air travel: terminals, baggage claims, flight simulators. Shot across both active and abandoned zones of Madrid’s airport, it unfolds in spaces where movement is rehearsed but nothing actually leaves. The same terminals, the same waiting. Bureaucratic, repetitive, and strangely familiar.
The project looks at systems under strain: biometric surveillance, hidden fees, and the daily rituals of capitalist fatigue. There is tension throughout, but also absurdity. A Flat Earther T-shirt rejects NASA. A safety card demands payment before releasing oxygen.
Passports are scanned. Faces press against glass, caught in processes that treat them like objects. Luggage becomes the backdrop for a life temporarily on pause. In one image, a nude figure reclines inside a training cabin with a passport between his teeth. Identification loses its function and drifts out of context. A flight monitor flickers with the words: No Landing.
