Photographs + HD Video + Sculptures

On October 30th, 2014, at the Wichita Mid-Continent Airport in Kansas, U.S., a Beechcraft King Air B200 lost power to its left engine shortly after take-off, crashing through the roof of the FlightSafety International Citation Learning Center and colliding with a flight simulator inside. Searching the punctiform event for its significance, Poole’s citational exhibition presents the causal indeterminacy at the story’s core as enigmatic exemplar; condensing, minutely, the accident’s forensic and informational excess with a desire for immersion, narrative, and meaning.
