Nicolás Dumit Estévez, The Flag, 2002-2006

I create a proposal for the first Dominican York flag: a hybrid produced out of two ready-mades: the Dominican flag and the US flag. I include photographs and artifacts that relate to the making of “The Flag” as a mean to insert the project into the historical context of the aforementioned patriotic symbols.
