Populism is an interaction between a central figure and his followers, who together create their own truth. The artwork shows how they depend on each other, where it is not clear whether the figure is in control, or whether he himself is trapped. Together, the populist and his followers form an image of the world, with the followers feeling connected by being part of this worldview. In a spider-like web hangs a machine that, from a central point, creates movement. Without the web, the machine is stationary, and without the machine,

the web remains immobile.
