Poetry or threat? Inspired by the heated debate over the two "White American Flags" that suddenly appeared on the towers of New York City's iconic Brooklyn Bridge, the film asks what kind of societal scope art has in the present day.
Wermke/Leinkauf's work investigates the boundaries of public space in urban environment through different kinds of interventions and performances. They temporarily override limitations and constraints without permission or invitation. They aim to question common standards and to show the beauty beyond these standards. This investigation results in video installations from single-screen to multi-screen with mixed media including photos or slides.
