This flag, built on the graphic proximity between the Société Générale logo and the CNT-FAI flag, highlights the points of tension generated by the impossibility of reconciling two antagonistic visions of society. Named Boustrophédon (a writing system where the reading direction alternates from one line to the next), it evokes the reversibility of symbols and the mechanics of subversion and appropriation, even confiscation.
The transparency of the canvas allows, depending on the direction of the wind, to see both the front and back of the flag, thus operating a reversal of the situation.
