“The Funeral” Description
“The
Funeral” is mixture of the ultrasound video of a fetus and the sounds of Berkin
Elvan’s funeral.
During the Gezi protests, Berkin Elvan(15) was killed by a
police with a tear gas can. Berkin was not a protester, he was going to the
bakery to buy a bread for breakfast. He stayed in coma for 269 days. The day he
was dead, he was 15 years old and weighted 16 kg only.
At his funeral, there were thousands of people. They were
crying, yelling, feeling the pain deep in their hearts. And the next thing
happened was the police attack to civilians again. The sounds are from these
attacks. This video is not just about one thing. As one side, about the
environment we should grow up, the conditions we may give birth. On the other
hand, the a baby is a hope, if you dare to give a birth.
