Birth of the Flag I & II Trailer (1974)
01 January 1974 37 mins
In this art performance turned into a film, a woman gives birth to the American flag. When this became a film, Oldenburg completely reformulated the contents of the original action and transferred the locale from an indoor swimming pool to the open countryside. The main similarity between the two versions is that water remains a dominant motif in both. With its stress on nature, the film is a far more lyrical piece than the original happening.
