How can one create, in a natural landscape of such awe-inspiring beauty as that of Tierra del Fuego, an artistic project able to become as one with this landscape while at the same time encouraging people to reflect on its underlying nature? We talked about this issue with Christian Boltanski, who suggested developing what we have called the Flags of the End of the World, a proposal linked to his Draw me a Flag project which was presented in 2017 at the Cartier Foundation. This collection of over 80 Artists' Banners will be presented at BIENALSUR 2019 in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. Furthermore, three flags which were designed ad hoc will be raised and flown from the three masts of the Ushuaia Aeroclub, one of which was designed by Boltanski himself. He was inspired by this singular destination to evoke the idea of an utopia. The other two flags are by Chilean artist Voluspa Jarpa, a variation on her recurrent re-readings of history, and the Argentine artist Mariana Telleria.
