Somewhere on this page is a national flag — photographed in negative and turned to a random angle. Which nation is chance; the colours are wrong on purpose. Stare at the grey dot in its centre and do not let your eyes drift. When the ring runs out, the page goes blank, and the flag returns in full, correct colour. Not here. In you.
Twenty seconds. Best in a dim room.
There it is — the flag, in colours that are nowhere on this screen, at an angle you did not choose.
You painted it yourself, on the inside of your own eyes. We supplied the negative and a blank wall; your retina developed the positive.
Jasper Johns hung the flag where the mind already kept it. We hand you a different nation each visit — your eye renders them all in the same four seconds, by the same physics, in the same dark.
