Investigated is a video installation on six channels that explores power, information, and the uncertainty of interpretation. Scene VI: Julian Assange and the Edward Prempeh the ex-King of Asante. British Imperial military forces exiled the King of Asante Prempeh I to the Seychelles Islands from Gold Coast Colony in 1900 for 24 years. Julian Assange remains in self-exile in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. The uncanny parallels of the two cases and their differences reveal much about how political power and ideas of sovereignty work. Installation by Jesse Weaver Shipley and Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll, film with Michal Murawski, Gustav Duelling, Christoph Balzar, Mensa Ansah.
