For over 10 years, the work of Andrea Grambow and Joscha Kirchknopf has revolved around people and the narratives in which they are captured. This often results in non-linear stories that evolve from anthropological field research and artistic subversion. 

With their newest video installation, Fun With Flags, the artists present their ongoing research into the aesthetics, narratives, and symbolic dimensions woven into the complex phenomenon of flags.

By collaging found footage sequences displayed on a flying white flag tied to a metal pole, the duo explores the many threads that connect the conflicting ideas inherent to every flag: unity and demarcation, affiliation and exclusion. Their continuous stream of found footage reflects the emotional range that flags provoke, hosting the associations and relationships people attach to them.
