“ANOTHER MEMBER”
Mixed-Media Installation, 2009

“Another member” presents documentary material of flag interventions in the city of Bern and Geneva.
The starting point of the work is the creation of a fictitious flag that represent an idealized “Union of West Asia” (UOWA). The design is based on the historic color distributions of flags from the Middle East.
The project revolves around the possible uses of this flag and how it could generate different readings in an existent public space:
participation to events with the flag; intrusion of the flag in various contexts where flags are already present.
The installation displays the photographs and videos as traces of these interventions; as a fragile rhythm that assembles fragments of actions to perceive something new:

Among other flags the UOWA flag becomes another member; as it moves from a site to another the flag is slowly being transformed from a glorified ideal into a disappearing sign in the mass.
