KEREN CYTTER
born 1977 in Tel Aviv lives and works in Berlin
In her work Keren Cytter speculates on a range of genres and disciplines including documentary, farce, Greek melodrama, the sitcom and musical comedy. The different levels at which her films can be read and the meticulousness of their writing and acting allow Cytter to challenge the genres she references and suggest an alternative to the way images are produced today. In Lyon she will be showing her entire output as a film marathon, together with a new work made specifically for the Biennial.
