Snapshot. 2013
Performance
Snapshot is a collective reconstruction of news stories in the United Arab Emirates over the last four decades. Eğrikavuk has conducted research in UAE news archives and chosen more than a hundred headlines from major newspapers and magazines. Each headline is printed on a piece of paper and distributed to the audience, who is asked to reconstruct the story. After the writing is finished, a professional news anchor reads the fictional reports.
Commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation.
