Secret Colors of Eastern Europe (Banners)

SECRET COLORS OF EASTERN EUROPE are banners that I removed from an empty Russian restaurant in 2018. They display the colors of the Russian and Ukrainian flags and have been joined together as different triangular structures to form new patterns. Given my interest in how colors transform through migration, how they reappear in different cultural contexts and are then brought together in new ways, this was a remarkable find – and I adopted it in its original form.
(At that time, it was not possible to imagine the meaning this work would take on in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.)

SECRET COLORS OF EASTERN EUROPE sind Transparente, die ich 2018 von einem leerstehenden russischen Restaurant in Berlin entfernt habe. Sie stellen die Farben der russischen und ukrainischen Flagge dar, die zu einer neuen Form aus verschiedenen Dreiecken zusammengefügt wurden. Entsprechend meinem Interesse daran, wie Farben durch Migration wandern, in anderen kulturellen Kontexten wieder auftauchen und auf neue Weise zusammengesetzt werden, war dies ein bemerkenswerter Fund, den ich genau so übernahm.
(Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war nicht zu erahnen, welche Bedeutung dieser Fund nach dem Russischen Angriffskrieg auf die Ukraine bekommen würde.)
