The video "Dichotomous Flag" stages a match of throwing "paint-bricks," resulting in a "flag-canvas." As a nod to Action Painting, "the canvas is an arena," a shared territory that absorbs symbolic, subversive, and athletic gestures. Guided by a referee, this match, akin to an allegory of the electoral system, unfolds in two rounds leading to an absurd calculation to determine the winner. The action concludes with the reconciliation of both teams under the flag.
