First director who told a story on the screen, the ones who paid prices during silent years, pioneers of controversial films, first editor of screen credits… They were all women. The film revealing the history of the condoned existence of women who wrote herstory on reels, and their pioneering and production, convey a feminist herstory onto the screen, with images from archives and interviews. And also calls for a restoration of honour, and asks everyone to stand in silence for these women who have written herstory on reels…
Nam June Paik was video art’s pioneer (1932 –2006). It is interesting that while Warhol and Nameth were experimenting with psychedelic happenings that combined rock, film and performance, the video art pioneers Nam June Paik, Stephen Beck, Eric Siegel and Steina Vasulka were researching in a similar direction.
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.
