Visualisation of the French tricolour for the installation CITOYEN/NE (Frankreich) by Margit Nobis, 2015
In contrast to German, the French language has two words for “citizen”: the elitist ‘Bourgeois’ – and the ‘Citoyen’ meaning a person of the civil society. The work CITOYEN/NE by Margit Nobis is dedicated to the second meaning , as the concept of mature, public citizens is still highly relevant in today’s “patronising society”.
