Three «white-old-male» museum directors from the Prussian Heritage Foundation, The Louvre and the British Museum speaking the truth about their imperial plunder. Them confessing crimes, speaking about healing, restitution, shame or art as critical knowledge. We can live in a world like this. The video work contains various AI-based technologies: the artist becomes a puppeteer and commits a performative «identity theft» from those who are usually responsible for appropriating the identities of entire «other» cultures (through material objects). She appropriates their faces and voices and thus creates a new positive imaginary world of the possible. The texts and quotes were written by engaged scholars - some of them specially created for the work. These collective voices range from the sensitive to the furious.
