flags 5 - podcast GCAS - "Flags and performances - in search of a new sandbox" (Einreichung 7)
(2021)

https://www.movementliberation.org

Dans ce podcast d'une bonne heure, Thilini Prasadika m'interroge sur mes recherches et mon travail. Le fait que je parle de "trying to surrender to our unability to understand space" à une scientifique au Sri Lanka introduit une dimension spatiale qui, grâce à la qualité performative de Zoom, fait de l'interview une performance comme nous ne pouvons pas en saisir toute la portée. C'est un document qui montre à quel point il est absolument fou (et en même temps absolument familier !) que la première fois que je parle de "the core" - le plus intime, le plus proche, le plus familier, le plus émotionnel, le plus physique - de mon travail, je le fasse avec quelqu'un qui est le plus éloigné, que je "vois" pour la première fois - et pas physiquement.

„flags“ a project of Gabriel Magos As tanks were approaching I was torn away from my sandbox in my hometown Budapest at the age of three and a half. Our family fled to Switzerland. My search for a new sandbox led me to India, into agriculture, rock music, performance, theatre, theatrepedagogy and now I am visualizing this search for "Terratorium" in the project "flags". As flags are grandiosely propagating annihilating nationalisms I go in the opposite direction (I flee ? I resist ?) to an "arte veramente povera" where I invent flagobjects and performances like "whiteflagwaving" to investigate the phenomenon "flag" and its seducing power as first moving informator. In this project there is also a sandbox with its deeply confusing ambivalence as playground for children and military. background - biography ( hungary/switzerland), nationalism, Max Daetwyler whiteflag, my first flag to mark my atelier positionism ( trying to surrender to my unability to understand space) what is a flag a piece of cloth on a stick to show the wind (temperature) WAVES first moving information carrier – signal (transport) a sign to belong to and to mark a field/ a territory/ a nation implication of flag sensual – seducing (movement) - emotional link to skin map (mappa) cover shelter making new flags ( material !) flagobjects flagsheets who or what holds/carries the flag ? - standardbearer bamboo - tripod flagpods - installations „white flag space“ – „flags procession » , « le palais des vents », « fireflag » more research history of flags ( other fields like climate, greenpeace, genders, political organisations, red flag, religions, rituals……) nationsflagscoloralismresearch - imagiNations – de/flagification military theory ( assigning numen to cluster, flagification……) performances in public space - whiteflagwaving vlogs, fotos, videos ( online , facebook etc.)
