A loudspeaker on a 13-foot pole plays a recording of the Israeli national anthem in the voice of a person imitating a trumpet. Triggered by the viewers’ movements, the loudspeaker climbs up and down the pole, simulating the raising and lowering of a flag and emphasizing a phallic subtext to patriotic displays. The work satirizes tropes of nationhood that are arrived at through pomp and ceremony. The video offers video documentation of the installation.
