In 2002, I studied with Alfredo Jaar at the Internationale Sommerakademie for Fine Arts in Salzburg, Austria. I made a boat that I intended to row out to a small island in the Salzach River and plant a black flag there – as a symbol that the island was outside any nation – a ‘temporary autonomous zone’.
Due to unusual flooding in the area, the island disapeared the day of the performance.
We set the boat off by itself to look for its own island.
