Double yippie hollow super power

Brad Downey and Igor Ponosov, using “exquisite corpse” (a method by which a collection of words or images is collaboratively assembled), combine the varying national symbols of their home nations into a new, exquisite set of iconic forms. The “unity of the opposites” that they have created — utilizing objects such as flags, coins, and anthems — plays with the sacrality of these national symbols, the almost divine status that they contain. The objects Downey and Ponosov have thus created contain both a critical and playful edge. They ridicule their stereotypes about each other.
