Messages from quarantine — performance, flag, collages — 2020








While in quarantine for covid-19 in Lausanne, I sent motivating signs to the outside. At a time when we are all connected throught the world wide web, I did my research on pretechnological ways to send signs over long distances. I made an interpretation of the semaphore telegraph by Claude Chappe, the quarantine signal flag, the semaphor alphabet and messagses in a bottle.
