Nosema is a story of death in the guise of rebirth, of the last summer of a couple before their disappearance. Hurmuz and Simuni Diril had to rebuild their homes 8th times as it was bombed and burned down in the middle of an armed conflict which forced them to leave their village Meer, one of the last remaining Chaldean Catholic villages in Turkey, several times. In October 2019, they were reunited with their children as usual, but this time proved to be the last as they disappeared from their home several months later. Simuni Diril's body was discovered, Hurmuz Diril is still missing.
Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
