Fanfictional Politics (2022)

Fanfictional Politics is a video work that shows how political narratives are constructed from conspiracy theories, speculation, and collective myth-making. Connecting Steve Bannon, World of Warcraft and Putin advisor Vladislav Surkov, the work wonders what is presented as a fact in a media landscape where truth, fiction, good and evil become indistinguishable.
