–×–=+
For the project –×–=+ artists Claudia Barth and Christof Nüssli have planted seven flags at seven points on a self-appointed north-south line through the centre of Switzerland. The symbols on the flag (–×–=+ ) are a playful deconstruction of the monolithic simplicity of the Swiss flag. This publication was produced during the same period, documenting the seven locations with images and research material. It also contains contributions on border, nation and resistance by Dragica Rajčić Holzner, Andrea Bagnato & Marco Ferrari, Leila Peacock, Initiative Nammou, Niştiman Erdede, Claudia Barth & Christof Nüssli. All books are handmade, signed and numbered.
