False Flags is a new iteration of their ongoing work No More Flags, a series of images of far right-wing gatherings in the UK and US. The national flags the protagonists are holding have been crudely removed from the images in what MacDonaldStrand describe as an act of ‘cathartic Photoshopping’. Sharing the project in the UK and internationally has raised issues of ethics, intention, copyright, ownership and consent that add additional layers of interest to the images and questions over how they are viewed.
