For Better Or For Worse
Kuchka Heta
I proposed to five men on the phone after my break up. The video records a conveyor-belt-like wedding photo shoot including a bride with five different grooms. The behaviour between the couples reveals they are not really lovers. They are only playing a role game, the results of which deceptively look like authentic wedding photos.
