Heimliche Bräute. Eheliches Glück. [Backdoor Brides »Marital Bliss«] (2009–2020)

›Heimliche Bräute. Eheliches Glück.‹ is part of the Series ›Copy and Erasure.‹ In this case, the starting point is a movie* on a VHS tape, I found at a flea market. Following a scientific transcription technic, I copied all dialogs and oral phenomena by hand and  deleted all spoken words afterwards.
