Domestic Flight
Photographs of the temporary exhibition “Domestic Flight” by Giordano Sarno, artist, architect, and airplanes enthusiast, at Superattico in Milan, in 2022.
Domestic Flight investigates the Technical/Domestic intersection intrinsic to the experience of flight. The exhibition unveils the high altitude geography oscillating between the hypernormed hardware of the flying machine and the simulated domesticity recreated in its interiors.
The flight is thus presented as a congested architecture where we can observe the overlap between exasperated domesticity reduced to mere ritual and normative and prescriptive technical protocols. In this compromise between comfort and a machine capable of fulfilling one of the oldest human desires, the window becomes the battlefield of this negotiation.
From its first elitist use to its mass diffusion, the architecture of the airplane can be read as a real-time section capable of reporting power structures, representation of the self and staging of reality.
