Stefanie Murphy Willett: "At the beginning of 2009, Wolfgang Schäuble* launched a study entitled “Young people in Germany as the perpetrators and victims of violence” which indicates that about every seventh young person in Germany has pronounced xenophobic tendencies.   According to this study, about 14.4 percent of young people are extremely xenophobic. 29.7 percent agreed unreservedly with the statement “There are too many foreigners in Germany”.   My father and husband are both foreigners (American) and I myself hold dual citizenship. That was the reason for my work and the starting point."

A country’s flag has the ability to invoke a disparate set of sentiments: pride, racism and nostalgia among others. Whether being hoisted up a pole, adorning the clothes and faces of sports enthusiasts or being set alight by racial extremists, a nation’s flag is a powerful, yet polarizing symbol.

For this project, designers and artists are given the task of incorporating the German flag into artworks, thereby using this public object as a medium to illustrate a personal story or point of view.

In addition over 45 large format portraits of people from various areas of the society were photographed till today.

This is a ongoing project! When you're interested in taking part, please get in touch with us.

The next Farbwerte project will be in Shanghai, China. The exhibition will open on march 20.
