Jonny Kahleyn – „Sissy Hyde“

Sissy Hyde / Jonny KahleynJonny: What’s your attitude towards Germany now?

Sissy: “I have always loved visiting Germany… even for extended times, but eventually I feel somehow restricted and therefore eventually get “Unbehagen” and uncomfortable…. I’m somehow too American to be German. But, then when I’m in America I’m too well educated in a well rounded way, including Politics and History, am orientated and driven, and so I am somehow in many ways too German to be an American. It’s a paradox, one can’t really do anything about a paradox… one must live with it…

And so I try to travel when I can; since last summer I have been feeling “die Wanderlust fuer’s Heimatland” again… I’m planning a trip back home for next year to refresh all the old senses again.”

Ongoing Project

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.

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

Jeremy Traum: “When I was a little kid, I liked to draw German castles.”
