»Dictionary of Imaginary Places« 2006, is a site specific intervention at Ljubljana international airport. During the current expansion of the airport terminal the six line messaging service of the departure board has been modified to a twelve line, and a test program is being run every night to establish the capabilities of the old mechanical messaging service. In order not to confuse the remaining night time passengers with recognizable destinations, the developed software was set to automatically upload names from A. Manguel’s and G. Guadalupi’s Dictionary of Imaginary places which cites over 1.200 entries of imaginary cities, islands, countries and continents restricted to: no heavens or hells, no places in the future, none outside the planet Earth and no pseudonymous places. By Jasmina Cibic.

The project »Full-Time«, 2006, is comprised of several parts: 1. An annual calendar listing all the public holidays day after day, throughout the world, giving the motive of celebration. 2. A presentation of 365 air tickets at the artists name, to go from place to place. 3. A cartography of the different possible routes. With this Delphine Rigaud plans to travel a route which enables her to be each day in a place where that day is a public holiday.
