Performance artist Rah Eleh will introduce her new work ‘Celestial Throne’ which made its world debut at Palazzo Mora as part of Personal Structures.
Celestial Throne parodies the tropes endemic to a classic game show, specifically Jeopardy!, where clues are provided and contestants guess the answers. The clues in the game show expose coded internet dialect, iconography, memes, and aesthetics used by far right hate groups to disseminate the movement’s political ideologies, spread messages of animosity and to lure recruits.The work features a series of characters all performed by the artists. The characterisations deconstruct racial stereotypes, while the videos are a pointed critique of far-right internet extremism.
