News footage of the 14th anniversary of the Soviet seizure of power in the Caucasus; an unveiling of a Lenin statue are re-voiced and re-edited into the form of a parody news report.
Archives never present the past in its entirety. They preserve only selected images and voices. These fragments shape how societies remember themselves, creating impressions of history that appear authoritative yet remain partial.
By re-interpreting archival news footage into a twisted comedic form, the work creates deliberate distance from the original materials. Through absurd satire, it exposes how archives frame our collective understandings of the past, and how it is constructed by narrative frameworks and institutional choices about what is remembered and forgotten.
