A fleeting moment in time is captured through the process of cyanotype printing on fabric. For her contribution to What the Flag?!, Alicia Kremser is developing a flag using cyanotype, a light-sensitive technique in which the image forms only at the site of installation. The flag is installed in darkness and becomes visible through exposure to sunlight. Rain or morning dew naturally fixes the image, with no further processing needed.
This approach turns the flag into a direct imprint of time, light, and weather conditions at the location where it is displayed. Kremser previously experimented with this technique on a beach, where sun and strong wind produced an evenly blue flag, while a test piece created on a calm day revealed a more dynamic pattern.
For What the Flag?!, she will explore durable fabrics suitable for outdoor use to create a new flag that, like her earlier work, functions as both a performative object and a time-bound document.
