BAAB sees the presentation of Elvis and Tina (Wedding) (2025) by Selma Selman, whose work explores the subversion of power patterns through a variety of media and practices of recycling and reinvention of materials. The video already contains what would later become the central themes of the artist’s practice: the interest in collective practices and experiences, rituals and codes of the Roma community which the artist comes from and which resists and exists outside the heteronormativity of social codes. The video, featuring a strong amateur flavor and broadcast on an old cathode ray tube television (a reference to the frequent use of found materials in Selman’s sculptural and installation activity), shows the wedding of the artist’s brother: a day of celebration, familiar and intimate, which brings together an entire community, sharing food, music, games and dances. Escaping any folkloric nostalgia and superficial representation, the artist’s cultural identity comes out instead in all its transformative and generative potential, capable of breaking free from canonical depictions and stereotyped perceptions to open up to new interpretative spaces.
