Flag (2024)
Two-channel video, one projected and one displayed on a box TV
Projection video shot on video-camera on a tripod. Raising
the flag of Bliss, from a photography-backdrop-stand as
a makeshift flagpole, in a bliss-like landscape. The flag is
eventually blown over by the wind.
TV video shot on analogue camcorder with much lower
resolution. The landscapes here are from in and around
Cape Agulhas, the southern-most point of Africa. It is a
romanticized journey to an edge of the world in search
of Bliss. At the end of the search, I finally find my blissful
landscape to raise the bliss-flag one more time. However,
this journey ends anticlimactically, as without wind, the
Bliss-flag fails to wave, and Bliss fails to come-true.
