About the project

In an era when a virtual avatar can say as much about a person as their real actions, the application "Parade Portrait / Create an Idol" acts as a mirror, reflecting our eternal desire to seek a leader rather than our own inner compass. With an ironic smile, this application offers everyone the opportunity to become creators of their own idols, building their images from a mosaic of historical despots and pop culture icons, those who will occupy a pedestal in their hearts tomorrow.

Changed the regime? No problem! Easily open the "Parade Portrait" and replace the deposed idol with a new one - Here, in the carousel of idols, everyone can feel part of the crowd unanimously choosing the next "big brother." Or, on the contrary, take the chance to think: isn't it time to stop looking for a savior and take life into your own hands?

The application simulates a service offering different models of leaders for coloring, and as a trial example in this version, models of Lenin, Lukashenko, Putin, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Hitler, the Elephant, Stalin, and the Madonna are available. By pressing various elements on the screen and moving sliders, users of the application can manipulate the models, choosing their favorite pictures from a series of different symbolic images, kaleidoscopically covering their leaders with endless tattoo patterns. Each image can become a mirror of their own inner world or socio-political opinion.
