«Independance – Welcome – We are happy to receive you»


There are different levels of reading in this work, which could be seen as a tribute to the spirit of independence and its capacity for enchantment. To let that spirit grow, you need the whole society to participate, not only as «standard bearers», but also as real actors involved in the building of society/the nation, as well as artists, photographers and members of the media who spread their words, voicesand images.
