First installed in Antarctica by Lucy + Jorge Orta during their 2007 expedition, the “Antarctica Flag” represents a kaleidoscope of different nations, as if through the filter of a prism, the flag concentrates all the national colours into the sum of light…. All identities coexist, side by side, hand in hand. The edges blend, symbolising belonging to a larger common identity. It could be the flag of a new World Community, to be raised as a supranational emblem of human rights.
