The start­ing point of the mul­ti-part work is the con­ti­nui­ty of Russia’s pro­pa­gan­di­stic sta­ging befo­re and after the inva­si­on of Ukraine, cha­rac­te­ri­zed by mili­ta­rism and natio­na­lism. «mit freund­li­chem Beifall» («with fri­end­ly applau­se») shifts the per­spec­ti­ve to frag­ments of media pro­duc­tions and ques­ti­ons the mecha­nisms of dis­in­for­ma­ti­on and deception.

/// Two years befo­re Russia’s inva­si­on of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the curta­ins in the para­de hall of the President of the Russian Federation are being repla­ced. The new back­drop in the Kremlin’s sta­te room fea­tures opu­lent yet taut folds. A green and beige pat­ter­ned fabric is laid in lavish arches, while gol­den deco­ra­ti­ve bor­ders and tie-backs line the curtain. The view to the out­side is not available.

/// “[…] He, Putin, express­ly appro­ves of pos­si­ble pre­pa­ra­ti­ons by Yeltsin and the mili­ta­ry to bring about a Pinochet-style dic­ta­tor­ship in view of the dif­fi­cult path of the pri­va­te sec­tor. Putin’s remarks were recei­ved with fri­end­ly applau­se by both the German com­pa­ny repre­sen­ta­ti­ves and the depu­ty German con­sul gene­ral who was present.”
