While taking a walk in the old town this morning I started wondering about the story of flags. Why flags? Well, today the Tallinn’s old town was a bit different as usual. There were no crowded streets, no noisy street cafees opened, no tourists, no signs of life – only the flags waveing. Just seemed like the flags have captured the city.
Most of the flags were Estonian flags – celebrating and being proud of the Estonian’s Independance day. That’s their day. Besides, there were at least 42 other kind of flags in different colours. Do the flags communicate with each other? Do they understand each other? How they see the people passing by?
Geroli covered similar topic by describing the language of the buildings. We could also mix the two narratives. I mean adding flags to the buildings might change the way buildings “talk” to each other. For example, if two different kind of buildings standing close to each other do not “talk” (just because they are different), then would it be possible that they’ll start communicating if they were carrying the same flag? I believe so.
