Dit, 2012. Flag, 145x200 cm
The title "Dit» translates to «There» and the work combines the clarity of the sign with the unpredictability of the wind to create an ambiguous message for passers-by in the city.
Dit is part of an extensive project curated by Randi Grov Berger/ Entreé in which artists were invited to create their own flag designs for display in various locations. Dit was part of the initial series of flags and has been shown in Entreé and Bergen city center, Stavanger Kunsthall and Tromsø Kunstforening in Norway, and at the Performa Biennial in NYC amongst other places
