Wash , performance and objects (Flag series), 2004
Emilio Santisteban
Contemporary performance artist
A large, double-sided banner displays a set of "indigenous" arrows on one side and, on the other, the stars of the United States flag. The arrows pursue with excellent aim; the stars flee, crowding together, overcome by fear. This piece flew from coast to coast across the US via DHL before traveling to the United States from Mexico for exhibition at the Tijuana Biennial.
