EXODUS III by Marcus Lyon in Kennington, London, United Kingdom

As human ability to circumnavigate the globe increases exponentially we challenge our ability to define our identities geographically. The global citizens of airport lounges and business hotels ascend to another world where the realities of real community become strangely mixed with notions of belonging to a different society of frequent flyer points and concierge services. This image records the plane movements over London during a two hour spell one morning in 2010.
