Nazdar (year?) 2015
Video (color, sound), 4’58 min, loop
 
Nazdar, is the name of my cousin (She who is in the video) The name Nazadr is another synonym for the word beautiful (one who is easily liked by everyone) Nazadar has a talent where she knows that she can make everyone at a funeral cry . This is not her job, but she only does it for her close family. in Norway they are called "weeping wives" where their history goes back to ancient Egypt: that the weeping wives "warmed up" the funeral sermons to make everyone cry. But as I said, the difference is that she only does it for her friends and family and never charges for what she does. In this video I have made her sing-cry for my mother after she died in 2015.
