Signs Facing the Sky: film still

Allora and Calzadilla's video work entitled "Signs Facing the Sky" intervenes on the urban topography that stretches beneath an airplane's wings seconds before it lands at San Diego International Airport. The video work incorporates phrases collected by the artists during informal interviews with people who live or work in buildings along the flight path to create an image of the inner-city landscape in which voices of the city's residents intersect and overlap. --inSite_05
