We did this performance for the event ACTIONS IN ROUTE which took place on July 12 and 13, 2003 in Mexico City. Several Mexican artists participated in this event (Maris Bustamante, Luis Orozco, Pilar Villela, Victor Sulzer, Katnira Bello, Lorena Méndez, Fernando Fuentes y Rocío Boliver) along with several artists from Black Market International. The event was organized by Victor Muñoz and Elvira Santamaría.
Our action consisted on taking an old flag which had been in front of our house for 15 years and mending it ourselves or inviting the public to do so.
We were wearing a sign which explained that we had had that flag standing in front of our house for 15 years and several times had been asked by passersby if it was the Mexican Embassy. We live in Mexico City.
