The Shining Shining, 200711:06 two-channel video
The Shining Shining concentrates on a specific TV studio audience who regularly attend a morning programme in Istanbul. This show is hosted by the famous Seda Sayan and watched by housewives all over Turkey for two and a half hours on weekdays. Across the two screens of the installation we see the insincere host being worshipped by the heartbreakingly sincere audience.
