Michaela Müller

Fresh Window Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Swiss artist Michaela Müller entitled Airport. This exhibition focuses on Müller’s animated short filmAirport. The film has been a hit with international film festivals and has won many awards. Among them the Swiss Film Prize for animation and the Silver Hugo at the Chicago International Film Festival.

The film explores the borders between the right to freedom of movement and the restrictions security requirements put on society. In a modern day airport, the flow of passengers is broken by sudden irregularities. Security forces try to get to the cause of the disruption, the atmosphere turns menacing at the slightest anomaly - a stranger becomes a suspect, and there is no room for outsiders.
