investigates the (counter)economies of ventilation shafts, originally installed as part of the Metro system in the early 20th century, when gentrifying social engineers sought to ‘breathe fresh air’ into the city, displacing working-class communities in turn. Beyond their ‘practical’ function, these sites also operate as more-than-weather systems of atmospheric ‘commoning’ for precarious communities and individuals in Parisian urban spaces during the extreme forces of Winter.
