Video installation about a migrated cheese
Kars Gravyer is Gruyère cheese from Turkey that looks like Emmentaler. But really it is much more than that. Despite the fact that it is based on a recipe that traveled more than a hundred years ago with Swiss migrants to Eastern Anatolia, it gained its own taste and story in the local circumstances. This story is traced in a video essay, blending documentary and fiction. Composed of anecdotes and experimental segments, the video is presented as an installation among objects and documents collected during the research.
