State of Exception – LHR
CQ_ Although the State of Exception has always existed, what will its nature be in the context of London, in times of massive private investments and global mobility?
The project speculates on a near-future scenario where the increasing pressure to control immigration and the escalating debts faced by BAA will create the conditions for a new State of Exception in place of Heathrow Terminal 2 (demolished in 2009). This new legal infrastructure will appeal most to the unlikely combination of tax exiles and asylum seekers who unite in a collaborative initiative to build an independent state exempt from UK law.
