Keren Cytter
born 1977 in Tel Avivlives and works in Berlin and Amsterdam
Born in Israel in 1977, Keren Cytter studied art at the Avni Institute in Tel Aviv. Having completed her studies in 2004, Cytter produced a series of experimental film and video pieces that were shown at international exhibitions. The question which the artist, writer and filmmaker focuses on in her work is the influence of media culture on personal relationships. In her short films, Cytter often combines documentary and fictional elements in the style of home videos or video diaries. In her current piece History in the Making or The Secret Diary of Linda Schultz (2009), she uses a playful mix of language, film, performance and light projections to tell the unusual story of a man and a woman who wake up one morning to find that their sexes have been changed.
