Based on an idea by Christian Boltanski, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain has launched a project designed for the spectacular fifth-floor terrace of the museum. The installation consists of around eighty flags designed by artists, scientists, philosophers, and friends of the Fondation Cartier, who have contributed to its program over the years, and today from a strong community.
It is a project that continues growing, adding authors for new flags. This particular flags do not represent countries but only and simply visual identities for a world without borders.
