In the Mojave Desert planes come to die. Boeings, army planes and old aircraft wait, under the blazing sun, for their fate to be decided. As an esthete of past eras, Lavielle only photographs old models that have become collector's items. Black and white enhances the lines of the devices. As the light reflects on the cabin, we can't help but think of Baudelaire's “Albatross” pitifully letting its wings hang around.
