The image used in this case is a Tv Screen Still Video from the Klan Tv 2015 primetime live broadcast performance project: "INTELLECTUAL DECAPITATION OF THE IMAGE" A hijacking of the image from live television broadcasts. Performance that uses a direct physical confrontation with the audience to make a political statement. This technique is used as a means to make a direct statement using myself live on TV, the performance refers to the political situation in Albania. In this performance, I address the sensitivity of the individual regarding the inherent violence inherited in institutional power structures. Its main point of reference is the human physical presence.

Masks, in addition to being used as a form of artistic expression, allow the artist to convey emotions and explore themes of identity.. Robert Dragot used the mask in a live television show to stigmatize various tv characters as shameless.
Conceptually, Robert's performance attempted to explore themes of identity, evokes the issues of feedback and comments in social networks as well as the illusory interconnections of individuals within a virtual community. The mask serves as a medium for the artist to provoke thought by blurring the lines between reality and imagination.
