Mélange - Global Solutions, 2014

Mélange is a project that deals with the phenomenon of mixture in contemporary aesthetics, culture and society. It includes several works such as video installation, objects, graphics and drawings.
Based on Pantone colour specifications for flags of the world, the colours of a national flag were mixed among each other. In sequence, the flag coulours rather appear like shades of a colour fan, than the strong iconic representation of national identities.

The video collage Mélange (global solutions) gathers these new flag colours and other visual, ephemeral recordings circulating around the term mélange, supported by a polyrythmic drum set. The term mélange does not describe anything specific; it is a flattering french term, a vogue word, that might as well describe a state of indisposition, especially in times of precarious debates on a variety of global mélanges.
