Olaf Nicolai’s two-part flag artwork MATCH plays with symbolism and transformation. One flag depicts an unused matchstick, the other a matchstick with a burned-out tip. In this simple yet powerful juxtaposition, Nicolai addresses time, action, and transience. The flags point to the potential of a moment – before and after ignition. MATCH thus becomes a symbol of possibility, energy, and transformation.
The artwork by Olaf Nicolai is available as a signed and numbered flag edition in the format 80 x 123 cm. It consists of 2 flags, which can only be purchased together. Limited edition of 60 copies. Orders can be placed at: www.mip.at/en/shop/raising-flags-editions.
