The lecture will focus on the use of language and poetry in Keren Cytter´s work. During her career the artist based a large part of her work on writing, not only as screenplay in videos, theater plays and performances, but also in an ongoing process in publishing books, magazines, text based projects and poetry happenings. In the artist's work words become a tool of disquiet and critical analysis to be used against human passions and relationships.
