In 2009 Snibbe created a piece called ‘Transit which is a large scale video installation in Los Angeles International Airport, that plays on fifty eight back to back HD monitors curving above the arrivals waiting area’. Snibbe tactically places his work in a building with relevance, the airport terminal, but he also has a captivated audience whilst they momentarily occupy this transitional space; people can follow and engage with the story until the end. It is a fifteen minute video that features hundreds of pedestrians in silhouette, forcing the audience to focus on the shape and movement of the people who are creating a narrative of them walking through the gate. The tale comes into play when some travellers break into a range of different dance styles and create routines. This is a shared narrative with the viewer as they, too, are in transit awaiting to go through the gate for the flight.
Diversity and character of a range of people is captured. For example; all ages, heights and sizes enables all who view it to engage personally. The diversity is further shown in the dance routines and styles of dance that are seemingly random. This allows the audience to find the piece relatable; for example, the child running away from her mum. Snibbe causes viewers to interact more emotionally with the story, particularly half-way through. The high-definition story shatters into abstracted fragments as multiple copies of travellers come across the screen; moon walkers break crowds into single travellers and a lady in red appears. This isolated lady in red stands out as she is the only one in colour, this allows the audience to follow her character across the screens. Ironically, she is being ignored by all the people in the narrative, despite her being the primary attention of the viewers. He compels the viewer to interact, not physically, but by observing others’ interactions.
