„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.)
