A lone insurgent is pursued by a representative of the state as she tries to assemble the multitude for a post-soviet mass spectacle. Hunted through the concrete cityscape of a multistory carpark and the brutalist architecture of the Barbican complex, she arrives at Edmonton with the motley crew of would be consumer revolutionaries, who come together to perform a choreography derived from footage of the original IKEA riot.

The Future for Less
Galia Kollectiv, Pil Kollectiv
A futuristic b-movie about a post-IKEA-riots society where art and high Modernist design have triumphed and Sunday DIY rituals are an underground cult. Individuals who choose to erect Ikea DIY furniture are thwarted by an omniscient regime that insists on, and forcibly oversees, the appropriation of these materials for use in only “good” modernist sculpture.

Better Future, Wolf-Shaped
Galia Kollectiv, Pil Kollectiv
A peripheral cult of worshipers fashions its own offerings to their Modernist ancestors in the form of architectural models of their great monuments made of corn husk. These are ritually constructed and burnt against the background of Celtic sites in Cornwall, as the group dons makeshift salad bowl and lampshade helmets, leading up to a choreographed homage to the square, and a short dance routine.
