Fragmented Flag, 2003, photo by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

For the Fourth of July, I offer a selection of images of the Stars and Stripes, as displayed in my home city of New York.<\/p>\n

Many artists have explored the aesthetic possibilities of the U.S. flag, most famously Jasper Johns<\/a>. It has a strong graphic presence that makes it stand out in nearly any setting.\u00a0 The bold colors and stripes assert themselves through distortions that would render most patterns unintelligible, as in the images above and below.<\/p>\n

Here a flag in a window is seen through the reflection of another flag hanging from a building across the street.\u00a0 There are additional small flag stickers in the reflected windows.\u00a0 Even the stripes of the blinds and the fields of colors made by the reflected building and sky seem to echo the visual elements of the flag.<\/p>\n

Below, a gentle breeze is enough to make ripples in the water standing in the gutter, but just barely moves the flag hanging from the side of a building.<\/p>\n

I had been casually photographing things seen on the street for many years, but in 2001 I got my first digital camera, a Canon G1, and began carrying it with me nearly all the time, dramatically increasing my photographic output.\u00a0 That was the year of the September 11 attack, of course, and suddenly flags were everywhere in the city, as expressions of solidarity and defiance.\u00a0 When photographing in the city it became nearly impossible not to photograph flags.\u00a0 At that time, it was common to see unusually large flags attached to cars:<\/p>\n

The explosion in the number of flags displayed in New York City lasted for quite a few years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

In a way, the proliferation of flags showed that people felt called to respond to a terrible new reality, but didn’t know how.\u00a0 This kind of symbolism was all we had.\u00a0 Often, religious and national symbols are used in response to our sense of powerlessness in the face of death and history.<\/p>\n

Outside the Tomb, there are columns that translate the stars and stripes into sculptural form:<\/p>\n

Another flag in columnar form is this display on the outside of the NASDAQ MarketSite<\/a> building in Times Square, a building completely covered in video billboard.<\/p>\n

In the years following September 11, 2001, many businesses in the city displayed flags or incorporated them into their commercial displays.\u00a0 Here’s the window of a Brooklyn store that sells walkers, trusses, neck braces, and the like:<\/p>\n

Screaming Mimi’s<\/a> is a long-time vintage clothing store in Manhattan, made famous in the 1980’s by pop singer Cyndi Lauper<\/a>.\u00a0 In the zeroes they got on the patriotic bandwagon too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Here, the U.S. flag adorns an inflatable sledgehammer, perhaps a metaphor for the American Empire’s ineffective military might and bubble economics.\u00a0\u00a0 Or maybe it’s just a cute toy.<\/p>\n

I live in an Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn, where the flag of the Mother Country is often displayed alongside that of the Land of Opportunity.<\/p>\n

A lot of people put up flags and forget about them, letting the elements fade and tear them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

On this flag sticker, the stripes have completely faded away, replaced by a beautiful network of cracks like one would see on a dessicated lake bed<\/a>.<\/p>\n
