In an extremely time-consuming process functional portable televisions from the 80s were cast in epoxy cubes. The conservation prohibits any following manipulation of the devices. The dictatoriale element of determination to consume without being asked for one's own opinion calls Stahel in this installation art propaganda.

The work flickers in the eyes of its viewers and absorbs their self-determination, because the viewer has no possibility to change the program.
They have to watch what is being projected or turn away.
The arrangement of the installation is reminiscent of the remains of a shelled house in East Ukraine.
The program recorded via a VHF transmitter shows mobile phone videos of the devastating destruction there, which Stahel received from private local Ukrainians via the communication app Telegram.

TV Potemkin is the first public work in which the cubes are used in a specific theme and with recordings in a specific context. The creative scope in the work What You See, You Believe, Stahels working title for the installation, is limitless and therefore quite impressiv.
