	Captivating strangers: Turkish artist Kutlug Ataman creates videos in which people reveal their psychological ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		When Berksoy speaks of her mother, she often addresses her words directly to a partially clothed mannequin whose face is outfitted with a photograph of Berksoy's actual mother.
		Berksoy, who recently died at the age of 94, is a real-life figure, not played by an actor, and Ataman's process was strikingly intimate.
		As with most of Ataman's works, conversational, unscripted language is a potent force here: how Berksoy speaks, how she uses language to construct not only her identity but the epic story of her life, how language is a vehicle for communication and discovery but also for self-delusion and concealment.

	A thousand words - Kutlug Ataman on his work ArtForum - Find Articles
		I started to shoot the first Turkish opera singer, Semiha Berksoy, who was then ninety-four years old.
		Also, in Turkey, which is a very structured society, to have her discuss her own personal history was, for me, a way to mirror Turkish life and make fun of its artificiality.
		The Semiha piece was also a way to reopen a critical discussion that was interrupted during the '70s, when Hollywood became so dominant and, perhaps, when Cahiers du cinema became more like Daily Variety.

		His work is chiefly documentary in nature, such as Kutluğ Ataman’s Semiha Berksoy unplugged, 1997, in which he presents the legendary opera diva Semiha Berksoy for eight hours.
		In the 1930s Berksoy was the first Turkish opera diva, who fought her way up as far as the Paris stage, and died in 1997, at the age of 94, with a dozen lives behind her.
		Ataman’s portrait of Berksoy is not only the occasion for a story about Turkish society, but also just as subtly focuses on the evolution of the Hollywood film and the history of the music hall.

		Left behind by the development of opera in Turkey, Semiha lost her popularity and strove to remain on-stage by continually changing her identity, re-writing and re-inventing herself
