During the Amsterdam Pride parade, one of the most discussed was the platform with giant figures of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin depicted kissing. Photos and videos quickly spread across social networks and caused controversy.
The installation was part of the traditional Amsterdam Pride satirical design of the procession. Organizers and participants annually use platforms as a way of political and social expression, referring to current world events and well-known politicians.
