Ssassin’s Creed (Lady Says Stop) 

Ssassin’s Creed (Lady Says Stop) looks at what happens when someone’s sense of power or place in society is shaken—or entirely removed. Some collapse into victimhood and lose themselves in loops of self-referential thought. Others rise up, claiming a kind of messianic purpose, convinced they must fix or change the world. From these ruptures, new figures emerge: cult leaders, lone actors, people on missions that no one asked for.

​

Who do we become when we feel humiliated or unseen? What kinds of violence do we justify under the banner of change?

Liina Magnea, who lives and works in Berlin, brings together music, performance and film dramaturgy in her practice, investigating the psychological fragility and compulsiveness of a contemporary, digitally mediated world. Her work has been presented at institutions such as KW Institute for Contemporary Art, MUDAM Luxembourg and Volksbühne Berlin.
