Wagner Group is an ongoing project that approaches the revivalist conservatism of the new cold war by creating an encounter between the public and a set of modified objects. The purpose is to test the boundaries of free speech in the context of anti-Russian sentiment, and to break the codes of conduct customary to such theaters. Aiming to put the obscenities of ideology in the cross-hairs and its puppetry on display, the work is a pantomime of newspeak that “forgets itself” on its way to delivering its propaganda.
