about "the Airman project"
Small stories from on board. Frequent travellers are modern Sisyphus. They go and come back, pushing the stone in order to build a home. As Qibla is the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca that Muslims should face when praying, home is the reference point for a frequent traveller. This is the reason why GMT watches, specially designed for frequent travellers and pilots, have two hour hands: one for the local time, the work time, and one, the reference hand, for home time. The German have coined a word for this concept of home: Heimat. Heimat defines a persons identity. The Airman Project depicts six years of Sisyphean flights around more than 15 countries strictly shot from the restricted perspective of my flight seat and using just my cell phone as camera.
