flagpole holder, 3 flagpoles and 3 flags (rescue blankets), dimensions variable
2017
From three flagpoles dangle flags manufactured out of rescue blankets, symbols of various nationalist ideologies currently regaining strength. But not a specific nation is meant here, whose imagery would be recognizable on the flags. The flags rather seem like place holders, in which the immediate context is mirrored. The rescue blankets evoke a wide spectrum of associations ranging from the silvery and golden insignia of representations of power to accidents and catastrophes.
