  • ABOUT

    WEDDING takes its name from the predominantly Turkish neighborhood in Berlin where most of the footage of the film has been recorded. During the course of 6 months in 2006-7, I have recorded the wedding ceremonies of Turkish and Kurdish immigrants in Berlin, which culminated in a large video archive. From this archive I have created a 3 channel video piece which is presented as an installation in art institutions. But the experiences I have gathered during the course of this project + the archive later led me to turn this research into a PhD thesis, on emotion and rituals; currently titled: "Rituals of Isolation: Emotional Bonding in Wedding Ceremonies of the Turkish-German Society in Berlin".
