Recently the Italian national flags were lowered to half-staff at government buildings across the country to show respect to victims of vicious covid-19. Flags are not just to be observed in our daily life, but they also have long been a theme in the art history. By means of flag, this concept unites three artists from three different countries. Theses contemporary artists venture further into the space experimenting the sculptural potential of a flag.     
In„Color Strips“ and „Unpredictable border“ Elsa Werth highlights the emblematic feature of a flag. With large variety of mediums she brings up the further discourses on a territory or a nation. Using daily objects the artist claims anti-spectacular gestures as resistance tactics that challenge the systems of representation in an administered and programmed setting. „Beaufort" series is a ongoing series of Tobias Brembeck to figure out the balance between static and dynamic elements regarding to flag. He transforms the representational act of raising a flag into a playful act interacting with structures of various sites. Titled after „Beaufort wind force scale“ his idea is based on its function and system to signal the physical changes in nature. Anna Sokolova, the multimedia artist, will show a site-specific installation and a video work. In her video she points out that a flag represents an individual act of manifest. Using only two colors, black and white, she brings sense of movement into a static architecture.
