Dichotomus flag

2018

Vidéo, 13’16” 

The video “Dichotomous Flag” features a match of “pavement-painting” whose result is a “flag-painting”. Like a reference to Action-Painting : ”the canvas is an arena”. The canvas is a common territory that absorbs symbolic, subversive and sporting gestures. Animated by an umpire, this match, as an allegory of electoral system, taking place in two rounds leads to an absurd calculation to determine the winner. The action ends with the reconciliation of the two teams under the flag.
