Passengers walk past a series of back- lit lenticular screens when they disembark from their plane and walk down either a 1,200-foot or 600-foot long sterile corridor that leads towards the customs and immigration areas. The screens are organized in groups of 7,8,6, or 5, each group revealing a “personality” and creating a vignette from the contents and organization of one suitcase.
