Play it Emin. Walking along the Russian Monument at Ayastefanos

The artist invited the puppeteer Emin Senyer to reconstruct the demolition of the Russian monument for the fallen at Ayastefanos, referring to three photographs, the diary of the lieutenant who supervised the procedure, and the relevant announcements in the era’s press as his primary sources. On the left screen, the current view of the site where the monument stood is displayed, while on the right screen, we can see Emin Senyer in action. Kamma appropriates the tools of the old art of shadow-puppet theatre, addressing critical issues of the history and culture of the wider Greek geopolitical territory in an amusing manner.
