2/2
A few years ago while watching one of the federal channels I witnessed something so surrealistic I could not believe was real. As a weather forecast host presented ordinary weather info, she referred to certain weather conditions as "perfect for bombing" mentioning a relevant at the time military conflict.
It shocked me, but also made me think how shock works best in unknown situations. In cases of propaganda shock is a temporary reaction. Therefore, through time, ubiquitous images of horror eventually stop causing moral resistance. This is especially wrong when it comes to the opinion popularization of a huge television audience.
With this project I intended to talk about political propaganda. As a viewer approaches a tv remote, they get to choose between a weather forecast and a cooking show. Despite the stylistic neutrality of the shows, they are full of propagandistic statements. Invisibility integrated into family recipes and activity planning, their aim is to educate aggressive nationalism.
