  • From high above the stacked crates and pallets of duty free merchandise at the British Airports Authority (BAA) secure facility near London Heathrow airport, a blurred forklift truck drives down a corridor moving fast away from two people in the background. In the foreground yellow boxes contain Gordon's Gin and Benson & Hedges cigarettes destined for the airports and aircraft leaving BAA terminals. We see the diagonal lane in this warehouse the size of a hangar, so vast is its scale. The workers in the distance appear dwarfed against the tall shelves of merchandise that they need to organise and keep a tally of. It is a picture of ultimate organisation and the efficient transporting of goods in and out of this logistics hub.

  • Duty Free customer and a picture of the Bay of Naples at Naples airport. The national emergency plan to protect the inhabitants from a possible eruption of the Vesuvius area has as its baseline the explosive event of 1631. Drafted by the scientific community has identified three areas with different hazard defined: the red zone, yellow zone and the blue zone. The red zone is the area immediately surrounding the volcano, and is in greater danger as potentially subject to invasion by pyroclastic flows, or mixtures of gases and solids at high temperature which, sliding along the slopes of the volcano at high speed can destroy in a short time everything is on its way. Pyroclastic flows probably will not grow at 360 ° in the neighborhood of the volcano, but will head in one or more preferential directions

  • A father and daughter wait for the man’s wife to return with their car after the family have returned from a booze-cruise from Dover to Calais. Back in England, the dad sits on crates of Fosters, John Smiths and Stella Artois lagers purchased in a French supermarket, considerably cheaper in Euros, than in Pounds. Waiting patiently with their merchandise, the two sit and stand beneath a road traffic sign telling adult pedestrians to hold on to their children as Dover is a busy sea port, where heavy trucks and fast-moving vehicles make it dangerous for the young. Booze cruises are popular ways of stocking parties inexpensively though with exchange rates fluctuating to make the Euro’s value against the British Pound, the booze cruise market slowed.
