seat with a view

To fly is annoying and unconfortable. Packed like sardines one's forced to stand the manias of strangers seated beside us,the obligatory bad quality food that comes too often and the inconsiderate passenger in front of us that reclines his seat back until it reaches one's chin. Not to mention the movies that have already been seen and the polite but strong willed attitude of the crew members to keep passengers seated as long as possible. There're no books nor computer games that can alleviate the pain: one wishes already to arrive at destination.

Actually to fly is not that bad, there's also some positive stuff. First of all the To Leave, the first step in order To Seek. Then the airport, the center of the world, getting into one is getting closer to any place; and finally a window seat. Here it comes, no matter what the purpose of the flight it's always worth it if one gets a seat with a view. Suspended in the air with the tip of one’s nose stamped on the cool windows suface, one can forget the world behind one’s head and the drinks in cheap plastic glasses. The images showing in front of one's eyes are worth every cent of the ticket: we're above the clouds or in them, we're flying!

seat with a view is a selection of images taken through the narrow plane's window, in order to kill the boredom and to regain the possession of time. They're ground geometries and wing parts, clouds, seas, skies and real maps: they're the moments-images that pass us by so quickly that the clock of personal thoughtfulness has been stolen,to get away and to get closer passes by in a finger snap. The Travel is agonizing, but seat with a view’s images keep it alive.
