3-channel video installation: 6”11’
22 videos in 5 Youtube channels

The project raises questions about Rosa Luxemburg’s legacy and its translation today. Via 22 Youtube videos and a physical 3 channel installation, the artist poses as characters from fictitious Youtube channels - inspired by the platform's popular genres (reaction videos, tutorials, etc). She plants original and quoted political statements in each video. Among millions of Youtube videos, these hidden messages get lost, but in the installation, they come together to form a powerful speech.
