Keren Cytter - Siren

01 June - 03 July 2016


To video artist, film maker and writer Keren Cytter (° Tel Aviv, Israel, 1977 / lives and works in New York, NY, USA) ‘Siren’ is to be her second solo show with Deweer Gallery. The exhibition screens 3 videos: ‘Siren’ (2014), ‘Rose Garden’ (2014) and ‘Metamorphosis’ (2015).

The work of Keren Cytter focuses on relations, or on the impossibility of relations, as well as the impossibility of authentic film making. Her films constantly reflect on their own creation process, they disenchant, show that the ‘magic light’ isn’t all that magical, but rather a construction – just like relations and sexuality … Cytter never does so with grudge or pessimism, but with playful and humoristic gestures that are touching and convincing. Cytter’s stories are based on scripts she writes herself, are being played by friends and are shot by the artist herself, often in the privacy of her own apartment. With these narrative yet radically experimental videos, made quickly and with few resources Keren Cytter is internationally acclaimed as the artist who constantly innovates and expands the language of the medium.

On the occasion of Cytter’s solo show and in close collaboration with Deweer Gallery Art Cinema OFFoff Ghent is screening other (and elder) videos by Keren Cytter, on Monday May 30, 2016 – 8 p.m., in the presence of the artist. www.offoff.be
