Air Pressure sees how our globalised contemporary world has been made possible and shaped fundamentally by international air travel; but at what costs to our sense of place and our wellbeing? This multi-media installation explores the clash between traditional farming life in Japan and the technology and economy of international travel. Two remaining farming families still live at the end of the runway at Narita International Airport in Japan. This exhibition follows one family who have refused to move elsewhere despite pressure from the authorities since the planning and construction of the airport in the 1970s.
