Keren Cytter: Video Art Manual at Zach Feuer Gallery, New York

Zach Feuer Gallery is pleased to present Video Art Manual, an exhibition of films and works on paper by the Israeli artist
Keren Cytter. The exhibition opens September 10 and will be on view through October 15.

In her films, Cytter explores stories of love, violence, sex, jealousy, betrayal and murder told in non-linear narrative in which
time overlaps and characters mutate. The actors repeat lines, switch roles and recite directions aloud creating a shared
lexicon through repetition and rhyme. Cytter's fractured stories, suggestive of dream and memory, are often inspired by
direct experience and observation but are filled with literary references, cinematic quotes and clichés drawn from popular
culture that result in works that are existential dramas composed from seemingly incompatible genres.

The title of the exhibition is taken from Cytter's newest work, video-art: A manual, which will premiere at Zach Feuer Gallery.
In the film, Cytter offers a historical analysis of video art and its development the last forty years, focusing on the conditions
of how contemporary video art is produced, installed and consumed. Filmed in HD, video-art: A manual is approximately 15
minutes long. A larger edition in standard definition will be simultaneously released by Texte zur Kunst.

In addition to films and works on paper, Cytter is the author of several novels and an opera libretto and the founder of D.I.E.
NOW (Dance International Europe Now), a dance and theater company.
