Representing historical and current efforts at producing disinformation and chaos, Bendiksen interweaves photographs of contemporary Veles with fragments from an archaeological discovery also called ‘The Book of Veles’, a cryptic collection of 40 ‘ancient’ wooden boards discovered in Russia in 1919, written in a proto-Slavic language. It was claimed to be a history of the Slavic people and the god Veles himself, the pre-Christian Slavic god of mischief, chaos and deception.
