Turkey is my country

The opening scene is a close-up of the artistʼs mouth. She begins to speak.

“Turkey is obviously a safe country.” Pause. Her right hand comes into the

frame, her nails painted red. She slips a small blue object into her mouth,

and then a second. She plays around the beads in her mouth like she is

sucking on sugary candy. As she moves them around, her lips remain mostly

shut, but there are small moments when they part and you can see the evil

eyes rolling around in her mouth. Three beads in her mouth, she begins to

speak again. “Since I came back to Turkey, I had the opportunity to

remember, what a safe country it is.” She pops another eye in her mouth.

She purses her lips and takes another, rolling them around. “I had the

chance to remember what a land of opportunities Turkey is.”She shoves

several beads in her mouth and keeps talking until her mouth is full and she

does not have any more room. A dozen spills out her mouth, she continues

to speak, she shoves evil eye beads in her mouth. I’m the final closing she

spits all of the evil eyes and puts her top over her bottom lip, a final closing

saying “I want to tell the world how safe Turkey is. Because it is very safe.”
