In 2011, Gunther Machu traveled around the world six times, he says, passing through airports in Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing, Chicago, Houston, Dubai, Frankfurt and Vienna. His atmospheric "travel diary" captures that sense of displacement and detachment, as well as the visual poetry of airplanes, runways, clouds, and urban landscapes.
