For Korsør’s 600-year anniversary, Hesselholdt & Mejlvang have created the extensive site-specific project: Flags for Open Horizons. Across the city, 107 monochromes, yet uniquely coloured flags animate the town’s flagpoles, tracing a luminous trail of colour through the historic centre and out toward the fortress. Inspired by the red and white of the Dannebrog, Denmark’s national flag, the installation moves gradually from deep burgundy to pure white, diverging into warm tones of orange and pink along the way.
