Pledges of Allegiance
Turkish artist Ahmet Ögüt is internationally acclaimed for his subtle references to complex topics including religion, social and rural customs, and the specter of war, often offset by an edge of humor. Ögüt’s flag is inspired by Dutch visual artist Marinus Boezem’s postcard-sized photograph entitled "If you’d like this photo in colors, burn it" (1967-1969).
