Nebojša Šerić Šoba “Under all those flags”

Obala Kulina bana Street – from the Skenderija bridge to the Čobanija bridge (Sarajevo)
August 22, 1998

 

All the flags in the world serve to identify people/nations by their visual symbolism. What happens when we take away that fictional base from them? “Under all those flags…” is an imaginary, non-interested space of a certain spiritual refuge relieved from any political manipulation by collective symbols. Between the two bridges Skenderija and Čobanija, along Obala Kulina bana Street, transparent flags are flown on the poles.
