PINS AND NEEDLES

The book accompanies the reader on a layover at Charles de Gaulle Airport until they board their plane to an unknown destination.
From page to page, the reader traces the journey, punctuated by waits, checks, contemplation, breaks, and wanderings that invariably precede the boarding and takeoff of an airplane.
During this journey, the reader discovers, step by step, the architecture of Paul Andreu, represented here as a labyrinthine, timeless, cosmopolitan, and always surprising place.
"I want to show the airport as a country whose crossing would be a journey in itself."
