Sky Flag, 1996/1997
Raised on International Days and Weeks of the United Nations
Flag size: 9 m x 4 m
One Sky Flags are questionning one’s national identity showing pictures of the boundless sky from above the territories.
Where is home? Where or what is Heimat, homeland ? are thoughts, which arise within the dialog between the artwork and the viewer.
A Sky Flag, with a photo of the sky taken above the antipode of Germany, was raised next to the flags of the EU and the UN. The Sky Flag was flying at representative places in 10 German cities on International Days of the UN e.g. on World Press Freedom Day, International Disarmament Day, International Week of Peace, World Environment Day or the Human Rights Day, mediating an unusual aspect of affiliation
As usual with many flag raising ceremonies, raising the Sky Flag up the flag pole was accentuated with live music.
