With flying colors In her exhibition Dysideological Reasoning, Tinka Pittoors builds an impenetrable place, a claustrophobic universe. It is an environment that completely isolates itself but also cries out loud at the same time: "you are connected". In this current era of excessive transfer of information and social media, symbols and signs became supreme. The flags - symbols par excellence of all identities - are dominant within Dysideological Reasoning. Tinka Pittoors exposed the flags in different ways and tries to get rid of their power, both markers for geographic areas and ethnic identity but also the joy of the happy flags for jovial celebrations. Their connotation is no longer a symbol of togetherness, pride or membership of a community. Pittoors placed - almost nonchalant - sculptures throughout the by herself landscaped disorienting forest of flags, lumber, painted cardboard fruit and mirrors. It results in a game of search and find, reflection and interpretation, "Liking" and "dys-Liking".
