The fiscal flag is a piece of cloth or material attached to a pole.
The Metaphysical flag is the sign, symbol that represents and symbolizes a given Nation, Government or Idea.
We were raised by the well known saying ״It is Good to Die for Our Country”, ״טוב למות בעד ארצנו!״ – in connotation to our land and flag. These words in the collective memory are associated with “Trumpeldor” the hero and “Tel Hai” in the Galilee.
With that collective idea in mind – “It is good to Die for our country”, I created “The Bleeding Red Flag” – by attaching 40 meter long Red Flag, bleeding at the end and integrating into the ground. Exhibited at “Anti War” exhibition 1978, London.
