General Capitulation

façade: 13 m x 10 m
16 white flags, each 600 x 1000 mm

White flags wave randomly and at differ-
ing rates against a run-down façade,
recalling the end of the Second World
War. The pathetic movements of the
exaggerated number of flags, however, evoke the absurd. When viewed against
the utter defeat of 1945, modern-day problems appear less significant.
