Mommy When Will I Get Married?

The project, "Mommy When Will I Get Married?" is the reflection of a true story which Kavachi got stuck. It consists of 4 sequences which were completed both in Weimar/Germany where he is living and in Denizli/Turkey where he comes from and is the place of his family bonds. He is faced with the question "when will you get married?" asked by his family. At least, he was thinking for himself to be able to give an answer to the question, when he took his relationship into account with his partner. The work started with the questions that he asked himself and of which he didn`t find an answer. The work is dealing with the notion of family, identity and home. Family is a part of home for him. A home can be more difficult to re-define by members who have different sexual identities. As a result of the question "When will you get married?" is asked constantly, he is showing his conflict with his mother, a phone interview with his grandmother, his cultural background, and his own story of being able to have a family in this video.
