    Hüzün is a tranny name

  • Overview

    Hüzün is a Turkish word originating from Arabic. It barely describes a collective form of melancholia. Many novelists and translators claim it to be untranslatable. Turkish literary figures differentiate hüzün from melancholia with the emotion’s collective characteristics. Hüzün is a tranny name is shot in collaboration with a Turkish trans-activist, sex-worker, artist and writer Gani_meth. The video tackles the mourning and melancholia in the queer community of Turkey while aiming to subvert the meaning of hüzün in a direction that reflects on the violence that the marginalized face every day. The video is shot in parallel to an archival work around Hüzün run in collaboration with Koc University’s Kuar Lab and curator Inez Piso.

The tape-recorded words “erase it” take on new weight in the context of history and war. When the state of Israel was established in 1948, war broke out and hundreds of Palestinian villages were depopulated in its aftermath. Israelis know this as the War of Independence. Palestinians call it “Nakba” (the Catastrophe). In the late 1990s, graduate student Teddy Katz conducted research into a large-scale massacre that had allegedly occurred in the village of Tantura in 1948. His work later came under attack and his reputation was ruined, but 140 hours of audio testimonies remain.
