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 include this subject in my current PhD thesis, on cultural performances, and crowd theory.
