The brides of Maltepe, Eva Giannakopoulou and Persefoni Myrtsou, GR/TR, 2022, 67’
The Brides of Maltepe seek to explore verbal transcriptions of relationships and confessions evolving around four families in Greece, Turkey and Germany. Eva Giannakopoulou and Persefoni Myrtsou live between three countries and as observers and circumstantial protagonists they attempt an introspective process, examining stereotypical and prevailing structures of transnational love and maverick forms of partnership. The two women find themselves in a process of constant documentation of their personal lives, and those of their partners, children, and families. Adopting formats inspired by Greek and Turkish reality shows and soap operas, they expose with sarcastic moods their attitudes towards nationalism, sexuality, feminism and conventional notions of biography.
