Flag Metamorphoses is an ongoing participatory and collaborative art project curated by Myriam Thyes. The concept is simple - the flags of every nation in the world transforming into each other through flash animations. It’s a great example of an idea that opens up a wealth of possibilities for artistic political comment, and the relationship between two flags/countries as realised through (meta)morphing animations can be understood quickly by viewers in any country. My contribution (by far one of the least accomplished animations in the project, I’m not ashamed to admit!) was the UK Union Jack to the flag of Barbados, representing both the 1966 independence of Barbados from Britain, and my own maternal Barbadian heritage.
There are 26 animations so far, and Myriam has done a wonderful job of getting the project seen at festivals and other screenings (see below), the latest being a showing this month in Tehuacán, Mexico.
