4 GENERATIONS WOMEN

transmedia project (photography, short film, interactive video)
EXPLORING THE VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE FAMILY HERITAGE AND TRANSMISSION 
1. PHOTOGRAPHY (Turkish family)
Picture
During my residency in Turkey, I met a Muslim family with all the 4 generations of women living in the same house, on different floors. I spent with them every Sunday during 3 months, finding ways of communication despite the language barrier and documenting their daily life in photography.

The pictures were presented in a Photography Exhibition at Anadolu University - Eskisehit (Turkey).
Special thanks to the family, especially Sevgin Tunali and to prof. Levent Kiliç.
2. VIDEO INSTALATION (Spanish family)
Picture
I met the 4 generations women family Gregorio-Ortuño during my residency in Valencia, Spain. They all lived in the same house, a space where 11 people dream, work, study, rehears their instruments, fight and laugh.... Filming them is like living a symphony on quotidian movements in a concert where life count its rhythm on the notes of 10 instruments.

The final installation contains a short documentary film and an interactive video.

3. VIDEO INSTALATION (Romanian family)
Link on the bottom page to the interactive project
Picture
Continuing my research within families with 4 generations of women, I wanted to understand how their values are transmitted and transformed from generation to generation. Capusan-Dermengiu family from Romania inspired me, especially the story of Maria Dermengiu (the second younger generation) who broke the family tradition of working in administration and law and gave up everything to become an artist.
This aspect interests me the most: when family values are broken and we have to recreate own ones. The "virtual inventory of values" was born where I asked them the same questions in separate interviews and place the women back together in an interactive installation where you can choose the questions in your order of preference and hear their answers one after another.

The video-installation contains archive family pictures (analogue, digital) and the interactive video.
​See bellow the exhibition tour from Victoria Art Center, Bucharest 2016
