Location 1: Moscow, 2008, Red Square, a setting that embodies state power and its ceremonial presence like no other - we need only think of the display of muscle at the military parade there on May 9th of this year.
Lokation 2: Turkey, Antalya - the Kremlin Palace Hotel, a "doppelganger" of the Moscow original completed in 2003 - but as a resort: sun, sea and plenty of bare skin. 70% of the guests are tourists from Russia or the former republics of the USSR.
In her video- and fotoinstallation Anna Jermolaewa tells the tale of this unique replica ans its residents.
