CHThe crowd Oleg was taunting in the dinner scene, throwing water over and pushing around, were in fact drawn from the actual ranks of Sweden’s 1 percent, including some of the country’s wealthiest art patrons (“They were so into it,” Terry Notary said).

#TerryNotary portrays the ape-man “Oleg” in the film. The Russian artist #OlegKulik was invited to the international group exhibition “Interpol” at Färgfabriken, Stockholm, Sweden. At the opening, the vernissage, Kulik performed like a dog. He glittered, jumped up, rolled and even bit the VIP crowd on their legs. Kulik said he acted as a representative of the browbeaten Russian people, who now attacked and bit back. The crowd became so scared and enraged that they called for the police. In this movie, there is a similar, charged and offensive scene, but here the performance artist acts like an ape.
