You are worth it

My unhealthy fascination with far-right political circles has been accompanying my research since I can remember. Led by curiosity I wanted to explore its complex and multilayered socio-political background.

The urge to express radical views and opinions is commonly associated with societies troubled with various political turbulences. This affects not only the shapes of public debate in particular countries, but also their art and culture.
