ABOUT
We are happy to present new works by Keren Cytter. On April 8th her solo exhibition opens in our Cologne gallery with her new work Siren that we will show together with one of her „classics“ Les Ruissellements du Diable from 2008. Keren Cytter’s video Rose Garden is presented in Villa Stuck in Munich in the group show „Der Stachel des Skorpions“, which will afterwards travel to Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt. Vengeance, Cytter’s 7-episode video epic, that she developed after her relocation in New York, will be shown during FILM COLOGNE, a new section of this year‘s ART COLOGNE.
In Siren Keren Cytter deals with “poor images” and their mass processing and circulation by mobile and smart phone cameras with editing tools, special effects etc. The female narrator convinces her male friend to murder another man in the name of all women and the unequal treatment in the battle of the sexes. Images and scenes are repeated in different qualities and contexts, showing the wide range of ambiguous possibilites of interpretation images can have.
