In his work ?The door of the law? (2009) we see an intense declaration of love for the American flag, The Stars and Stripes, taking place between two characters. They kiss and neatly caress the American flag in an intimate manner that tends toward the bizarre. The scene has undertones of object fetishism, thus interestingly commenting on the way we often cling to identity markers as expressed in certain cultural symbols, objects and attributes.

Since Morten Dysgaard (* 1976) graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, the cinematographic narrative technique has been his preferred mode of expression, used to investigate how images and signs are instrumental in creating our cultural feelings of identity. Dysgaard has exhibited his work all over the world and is currently working on his first feature.
