The artist watches her childhood in Iran through dozens of videotapes recorded by her father. In the footage, we sometimes witness the moments of celebration and mourning getting crowded with relatives, and sometimes the daily life of the family. Khoskhabar establishes a connection between learning about Turkey -the country she currently lives in- from the satellite channels banned by the state when she was a child, and remembering her childhood via the videotape footage. A satellite-like structure with a group of mirrors, assembled from scraps of adult tools found in parks, is located at the center of the exhibition. Childhood images from a single channel come by this setting; the familiar gravitating the remote, the lost attracted to the present, reflecting towards a different orbit.
