It is within the dialog between the artwork and the viewer, that Sky Flags are challenging one’s national identity by showing pictures of the boundless sky from above the territories.Even next to the flags of the EU and UN a Sky Flag was hoisted in 10 German cities on International Days of the UN, eg. the 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 .
