WEDDING: GIRLISH DREAMS. FAKHRIYYA MAMMADOVA AT THE AZERBAIJAN PAVILION, 55TH VENICE BIENNALE.

For “Ornamentation” at the 55th Venice Biennale, Mammadova has presented a photographic installation titled Wedding : Girlish Dreams, a wedding ceremony mixing tradition and modernity. The photographs, in kitsch golden circular wooden frames, are hung on opposite sides of the first floor main room at Palazzo Lezze, on fake white walls and spotlights shining down. Upon entering the space between the two walls, one can perceive the background sound of laughter, voices and music from the wedding portrayed in the photographs.
