I Have International Friends
Video projection, videostills, 05'36" © Kavachi, Weimar 2017.
The Video Project “I Have International Friends” is based on the song “lingo lingo şişeler” related to the artist's childhood memory. When he was 9 years old, he was circumcised and his family organized a circumcision party. The favourite music of the night for him was “lingo lingo şişeler” which is traditional and entertainment Turkish song.
The video on the left screen that you see, is a new party organized with his international friends in his studio and the video on the right screen is from his circumcision ceremony. Through this new party, Kavachi and his friends reinterpreted the circumcision, being naked during circumcision, Turkish cultural music and tradition in an ironic and humoristic way.
The work is intended not only entertain but also induce anxiety.
The work contains scenes that may be inappropriate for young audiences.
