In Outpost 4 the central figure is dressed in a white workers uniform onto which approximately 3000 envelopes were hand stitched, some containing loosely fitted paper-printouts of red crosses/ the letter x . Around him are scattered loose boxes, all seemingly packaged for transport purposes. As the sun rises he unfurls a massive red flag that he gently waves from side to side. This action progressively increases in speed and intensity before the video abruptly cuts to black.
