Parade, 2005, DVD, colour, sound, Duration: 00:09:36 (loop)

Christoph Büchel’s work in this exhibition–a video of a parade in Teheran in 2002–reflects his interest in propaganda and psychological warfare. He found the footage in 2004 on the website of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, which had uploaded it as counter-propaganda to Iran’s anti-Zionist propaganda. Aerial shots of the parade, which took place in a derelict area without any public, show varying shapes and images the participants create as they march: missiles, a Star of David, a swastika, the letters U.S. and the Mosque of Omar.
