Red flags

From the Podcast Bro to the TikTok Therapist, from digital Clicktatorships to corporate word salad, rage-bait algorithms, and monetised outrage: modern life is a minefield of absurdity. But don’t worry: Red Flags is here to help you navigate through it. Visual storyteller Bart Kiggen created more than 60 absurd-yet-familiar portraits to unmask patterns that have quietly lowered the bar. The result is a field guide to the kinds of archetypal people and systems we’ve learned to tolerate, but really shouldn’t. It’s not so much about spotting the villains as the habits that keep getting a pass. And along the way, this mildly satirical mirror might remind you that the red flags we see in others, often reflect our own.
