Flag Chess (2006)
I produced Flag Chess by creating an interactive chess game outdoors by moving flags on an 8x9 meter square board. Flag Chess presents the long journey of, and transformation of the chess game from its origin in India and its travels to Persia, to the West and to the rest of the World. Flags that bear the symbolic images of various cultures and regions replace the original markers on the board.
깃발 체스 / 깃발 장기 (2006)
이 작품은 야외에 8 X 9 미터의 체스 보드를 설치한 후 깃발을 움직여 진행하는 체스 게임 혹은 장기이다. 인도에서 생겨나 동양과 서양으로 퍼져나간 체스 게임의 변화와 긴 여정을 상징하는 이 작품에서, 다양한 종류의 문화와 종교를 나타내는 이미지들이 담긴 깃발은 원래 체스 게임 혹은 장기에서 사용되는 말들을 대신하고 있다.
