Plot synopsis
The presiding Russian state patriarch famously took the other path (that of divorce). Video artist Masha Godovannaya transforms Putin’s legendary TV talk show appearance (”First off I have to see to it that my ex-wife marries again, then I’ll look after myself.”) into an incredibly revealing freak show: the anti-emancipatory message is unmistakeable, the frozen smiles of the (overwhelmingly male) audience unbearable.
