Interlude: Serga’s Revenge

On the subject of animal puppets. Here is my paper tiger in action again.

After Putin’s invasion of Ukraine I made this short sequence based on the automaton “Tippu’s Revenge”. Serga was the name of a Siberian tiger that Putin used for one of his macho photo shoots a few years ago, I think he was supposed to have trapped and tagged her. In fact she came from a nearby zoo and had been so heavily tranquilised that she died shortly after the photo session.
