Barry Schwabsky on Keren Cytter
Artforum, Oct. 2006, v. 45, no. 2, pp. 252-253
Keren Cytter makes cinematic "video focused on narrative, on situations, on conjuring a fictional world". The stylized, canned dialogue and presentation is balanced with banal, realistic settings and interaction. Despite heavy scripting, these videos manage to seem natural and authentic in their particular manner of inauthenticity. The viewer is able to identify with the "stilted and clinched nature of the characters' exchanges."
