The work is part of the ongoing research on the politics of celebrations, the relation between affect, movement and language, spectacle and invisibility, power and its disruption; between embodied experience and document. It departs from the notion that fireworks and gunpowder used in the military are parts of the shared power constellation. The collages overlap archival images of firework stands for socialist parades with video stills, maps and movements schemes of contemporary state celebration and protests.
