Fake Reality // Sahte Gerçeklik
5’16” single-channel film
2011

Most Turkish weddings use decorated Styrofoam wedding cakes as representational objects that become an example of contemporary “society’s real unreality” (p. 13, 1968 edition) Guy Debord The Society of the Spectacle. The artist filmed the making of one of these cakes, transplanted it on a pedestal in the gallery, and returned it to the pastry shop to continue its life as a fake wedding cake.
