Keren Cytter

Kunstverein Munchen, Munich

This screening is part of a series of events that give access to a particular source of inspiration for Keren Cytter. For this particular occasion we will show Cytters film Una Forza che viene dal Passato (A Force From the Past) (2008) together with RoGoPaG (1963). The two films will be shown after each other on one of the big screens inside Cytter's solo-exhibition 'The Hottest Day of the Year' at Kunstverein Munchen. The first (and only) Italian firm by Keren Cytter, Una Forza che viene dal Passato (2008), is part of a two channel video installation that she produced for Manifesta 7 in Trento. The two projections were shown in two similar but separate spaces and projected simultaneously. At first sight it seems that the actors, locations and actions seem similar in both movies. In addition, both movies work with the image of Italy as coined by directors such as Frederico Fellini and Pier Paolo Pasolini. However, when one takes a closer look at both movies you realise that they are following different scripts. Cytters film Una Forza che viene dal Passato is titled after a poem by Pasolini und inspired through his movie La Ricotta (1963). RoGoPaG (Italy, 1963) features a collection of four short movies by Roberto Rossellini, Jean-Luc Godard, Pier Paolo Pasolini and Ugo Gregoretti. Each movie starts of with a quotation from the bible, followed by a short film, which illustrates this quote.
