Wishes and Warnings in the Wind II

1997Flag Installation

Luxemburg, 29th August – 28th September 1997

Ten handpainted flags, developed on the occasion of Luxembourgs Presidency of the European Council in the second half of 1997. Each flag shows a different, ‘inofficial’ symbol: smuggled into the rows of ‘official’ flags they flutter at prominent public spots in the centre of Luxembourg City. Myriam Thyes’ flags are counter-representatives, wishful images and warning signs at the same time which function as surprising statements in between governmental flags.
