The “Great Mobile” by French artist Xavier Veilhan represents the spatial characteristics of the airport. “I wanted to make a work [that was] not so imperialistic but rather transparent and always moving, in connection with the endless movement of the passengers here,” the artist told reporters during the unveiling of the piece.
