Anarchy at the south pole: Santiago Sierra plants the black flag to destroy all borders.

in anarchy •  6 years ago 

If only, dear reader, we could just plant a black flag in our front yards and be left alone, but that isn't how crapitalism works.
Any that can live outside of it must be destroyed, by all means.

Welcome to the bankster dystopia our ancestors have let them build.
This man is not taking it anymore.

Let's join in solidarity with him.

"I travel a lot,” says Santiago Sierra. “But entering a country is like going to jail. Borders disgust me – as an idea and as a personal experience.
This work denies all of that.”
It’s a typically forthright remark from the Spanish artist, who once caused uproar by pumping carbon monoxide into a former synagogue in Germany, then inviting visitors to don gas masks to enter this simulated death chamber.
Sierra is talking about his latest installation, which has just opened at Dundee Contemporary Arts.
Called Black Flag, it documents his attempts to have the symbol of anarchism planted at the north and south poles.
What was the reason for the project?
“To occupy the world, I suppose. I’ve always loved Piero Manzoni’s The World Pedestal, in which the whole world was inside the work of art.”
Manzoni created a pedestal on which the world purportedly rested, making the whole planet a work of art.
He also once made tins of Merda d’Artista which, as the name suggests, purportedly contained the Italian’s excrement.

How hard is it for a private individual to go to the south pole?

Pretty easy, if you have money, permission from the militaries, and know who to ask.
Otherwise, forget it, better to plant a flag where you are and defend what you have, imo.

"...plant a flag where you are and defend what you have..."

We all do that, we all win.

Thanks!

I don't see the breakdown of borders ever happening unless we start interacting with extraterrestrial civilizations.

The mkultra is strong in you, eh?

We believe what we believe is true because we havent taken the time to know if it is, or not?
