At the core of "In the Place of the Public" are photographs taken at airports and on airplanes throughout the United States and Europe and a set of texts drawn from the experiences of air travel. Resonant phrases deal with the psychological aspects of flight, the structures and logistics of terminals, and the business strategies of airlines; these phrases are placed in conjunction with a base-line list of landmarks and social forms by which we have previously organized and understood our lives together. In her companion essay included here, Rosler offers a meditation on the experience and the role of air travel today. Together these elements form what amounts to a phenomenology of air travel - as well as a metaphor for postmodern life. Rosler's writings and images fuse theoretical investigation and personal insight with social and political analysis. An essay by architectural historian and theorist Anthony Vidler interrogates terminals as building forms and airports as social places, framing Rosler's work in the context of architectural history
