Keren Cytter

Winner of the Baloise Art Prize 2006.



Keren Cytter's drawings in our collection are in concept closely related to her video art. In her graphic works Keren Cytter samples image motifs that she has taken from the mass media (film, television, print media, advertising, the Internet, etc.). The masterly execution and combination of these often redundant motifs serves as a vehicle for Keren Cytter’s oddball humour, but also her feeling for ambiguity, mysteriousness and the grotesque.
