The Storming of the White House

Reconstruction of a work by the art collective Voina.

On the night of 6–7 November 2008, Voina gained access to a room in the attic of the Hotel Ukraina, across the river from the Russian White House, the seat of the Government of the Russian Federation. From there they projected a skull and crossbones, twelve storeys tall, onto the facade of the White House.
