COFFEE is a short film about a coffee grounds reading. The film starts with an image of a dog, announcing the start of the show, who also witnesses everything that is said during the film. The coffee grounds reader tells a woman (the artist herself, whose fortune is being read in the coffee grounds) what is happening in her life at the time and what could happen in the near future. The story is full of strange, obscure characters, objects, events, rumors, gossip, all constructing very visual, imaginative, and colorful imagery through the cool, dry, literate language of the film.
Ayşe Erkmen is an artist who works in Berlin and Istanbul. COFFEE was part of the Forum Expanded film program “Laborsituationen” in 2007.
