Stateless, our series of flags, is waving over the former welding factory at Dok-Noord, Ghent (Belgium) which is home to 019, a transdisciplinary platform that develops in-between spaces for intuitive experimentation, collaboration and encounter between architecture, graphic design and visual arts.
At a time when climate change disrupts our lives, the series represent the eternal friction between nature and artifice. Each subject is the result of a visual research trying (and failing) to capture nature through a flatbed scanner. The silent flags embody the borders of a state that does not exist, as if to draw attention to the identity of the natural environment and finally giving it a representation.
A first edition of Stateless was exhibited within a collective exhibition curated by co_atto at Stazione Garibaldi, Milano.
