FLAG METAMORPHOSES

Animation: LAOS - CANADA, by Peter Chanthanakone. Urban Screens Manchester, Oct. 2007

CALL

Call for participation / submission

A participatory art project - a continuously growing series of animations with many authors: The flags of every nation in the world will transform into each other through flash animation.

Between each two flags, scenes appear that show an aspect of the relations between the two countries. This series of animations is an exploration into the meaning of imagery on flags, aiming to create interrelated associations through questioning, reassessing, fluidizing and re-mixing of diverse national iconography.

FLAG METAMORPHOSES lays stress on the relations between nations and identities as changing ones: Only in the permanent re-creation of values, symbols and ways of life, in mixing with others and differing from others, cultures and societies stay alive. Each artist who creates a flag animation expresses such a relation in his/her own way. You too can contribute!

Deadline: ongoing
