New York Jewish Film Festival Presents

Artist Focus: Keren Cytter

Talk

Monday, April 20, 2015
6:30 – 8 pm
Scheuer Auditorium

The Israeli artist Keren Cytter uses visual media in strikingly original ways to build powerful and affecting narratives out of skewed scenes of everyday life. Cytter’s films, video installations, and drawings represent social realities through experimental modes of storytelling characterized by a non-linear, cyclical logic and multiple layers of images: conversation, monologue, and narration systematically composed to undermine linguistic conventions and traditional interpretation schemata. Recalling amateur home movies and video diaries, these montages of impressions, memories, and imaginings are poetic and self-referential in composition, thought provoking, and inescapably engrossing.

We present five of Cytter's recent works followed by discussion between the artist and Jens Hoffmann, Curator for Special Programs, New York Jewish Film Festival and Deputy Director, Exhibitions and Public Programs, the Jewish Museum.

Free with RSVP
