GREEK FLAG ALTERATION


Video
Athen, 2014

A greek flag is altered in a clothes alteration store. The 9 white and blue stripes that represent the sky and the sea are cut off and sewed together again connecting all blue and all white together in order to create landscape. After the alteration, the 9 stripes that correspond to 9 greek syllables e-le-vthe-ri-a-i-tha-na-tos forming the phrase ‘freedom or death’ are merged together and not discernible any more.
