Flags, Paris 2022

This site-specific installation by the artists Joe McShea & Edgar Mosa comprises of eighty-seven 2.5x3.5m faceless flags made of nearly 4,000 individually-cut ribbons mounted on 6.5m long aluminum flagpoles and reacting to the movement of the passer-by.

The flags are stripped of meaning, not a call to action but to reflection. They are made of thirteen colors chosen to represent the full visible spectrum, arranged randomly so as to make each flag unique.
