Flags and banners often mark territorial claims and national boundaries. Vera Kox's flags, on the other hand, depict an imaginary landscape of organic matter woven into industrially patterned ceramic surfaces from the artist's sculptural repertoire. Lichens, algae, mosses, and fungi are among the first species to grow on bare rock or in inhospitable environments. In some extreme climates such as high mountains and high latitudes, lunar landscapes after volcanic eruptions or nuclear disasters, they represent the only life forms. Some survive in the harsh conditions of deserts, others on the frozen ground of arctic regions, while rising climate issues threaten the survival of an increasingly fragile ecosystem. The four elements of nature - wind, earth, water, and fire - are further echoed within the portrayed imaginary biospheres.

Vera Kox is a german-luxembourgish artist. She has shown her work with institutions and galleries internationally, including Cosar (Düsseldorf), Kunstraum Bethanien (Berlin), Ribot (Milan), Kunstverein Reutlingen, Galleri Opdahl (Stavanger), KINDL Centre for Contemporary art (Berlin), MRAC (Sérignan), Palais d’Iena (Paris) and Mudam Luxembourg, Casino Luxembourg. Kox holds a Master’s degree in Fine Art from Goldsmiths College, London and is based primarily in Berlin and Luxembourg.

In the context of the European Design Festival 2023, Cercle Cité in collaboration with Greylight Projects (Heerlen, NL) proposes an off-site exhibition What the Flag?! in Luxembourg.

The flags, works by invited Luxembourgish artists and designers, are mixed with existing artists’ flags, which are part of the archive of the What the Flag?! project. The artists and designers are invited to respond from their own work and vision of the medium “flag” within the context of the location in which they are shown.

The flags are placed between the central locations of the European Design Festival 2023 in the city of Luxembourg forming a route that the public can follow with the help of a map.
