Sabrina from Germany


"...When I learned that Mirko is doing this project and what the background is, I immediately realized that I would like to participate.
I hoped - and was not disappointed - a confrontation with myself and my taboo in the context of gender identity and an answer to the question of how seriously and uncompromisingly I am ready to represent my ideals. My answer is my imprint in the hands of the public...."

Francesca from Italy

"...Participating to this project was an honour, but also a challenge for me. I spent most of my life being what the others wanted me to be, Ishowflag arrived at the right moment, giving me the possibility to express myself, just the way I am!

"... We all are atoms, are molecules, are nature, are life. Doesn’t matter where you were born, where you are raised, where you will die; in the end, all the things go back to the nature, to the essential materials of the universe… "

Janine from Germany

"...the project underscores so beautifully that we are all individual and unique but still from the same 'material'. That the base is the same in all of us, but the shape, color and characteristics are simply unique..."
