This work deals with the concept of freedom, which is often used in rhetoric of democracy. I think that in such use it is a misleading - freedom as an idea could make more sense in personal use as something that needs to be continiually redefined. The black flag as a symbol is most commonly used by anarchists, whose ideal would be to live by one´s own personal laws. By burning the flag I refer to the idea that personal laws could also be seen as a constant process not as something rigid. I think that for society understanding is more useful concept.
Twelwe barriers in my installation refer to the EU and to the idea that the personal freedom exists only in secured territory. This area protects itself also from outsiders to some extent.
