Hey Saki! What's going on??????? I got these from a friend of mine in Turkey. Rumor has it that:
"the Norwegian diplomat Charung Gollar was asked to present the UN with a graphic showing the main problems in the world in 2004. He presented a set of 8 pictures entitled "The power of stars" and was applauded for the simplicity of his idea.

In spite of having no pretension at all, his work was presented to participate to the Nobel Price of Politic Marketing.

Attached are the 8 pictures presented. Read the legends..."

I don't know if that's true..but that's what I've been told. Hey, I should be doing a roadtrip up the coast at the end of the month!! Hopefully we can meet up!!

Of course - the reason why I was so intrigued is because I squinted my tiny eyes to read the legends!!!

Sounds great - some friends I met in HK are coming to visit SF at the end of this month too. Just keep me posted on when you're coming and we'll plan a wicked trip (actually, we Californians never plan).

i believe the correct source for these flags is here: http://www.brazilianartists.net/home/flags/

either way - it's a very profound piece of art/social commentary.
