ÇÜRÜK – THE PINK REPORT<br />
by Ulrike Boehnisch GENDER IDENTITY | SEX | HUMAN RIGHTS | CONFLICTS<br />
“Homosexuality is a disease and needs to be treated”, states the Turkish Minister of Family Affairs<br />
within an interview.<br />
Turkish military considers homosexuality to be a ‘psycho-sexual disorder’ that exempts one from service.<br />
Therefor homosexuality needs to be diagnosed by Military physicians. If a psychological examination<br />
is inconclusive, doctors are required to use other methods. Either an anal examination is called for<br />
or the applicant must submit pornographic images of himself engaged in a homosexual act…<br />
Çürük – The Pink Report is an intimate encounter with four men and their moving stories between<br />
institutional violence, tremendous fear and the longing for acceptance within a society that considers<br />
them to be ill, rotten, disabled – çürük.<br />

David Bailey is a cultural icon who has been at the cutting-edge<br />
of contemporary art for fifty years. From Vogue magazine<br />
fashion photographer to filmmaker, painter and sculptor, Bailey<br />
is the working-class Londoner who befriended the stars and<br />
captured the spirit of his times with his razor-sharp eye. He has<br />

models or chronicling the reality of Papua New Guinea, Brazil,<br />
Vietnam or Afghanistan with ground-breaking reportages.<br />
Featuring interviews with art critic Martin Harrison, Bailey's former wife Catherine Deneuve, his current<br />
