Press Release:
Do I know what a person is?
Do I know who knows?
I don’t know what a person is
I only know its price.
Bertolt Brecht: The song of the goods
In her video work FASHIONS Keren Cytter dissects human action and feeling in the perspective of the exchange of commodities with blunt directness. Her personas are bourgeois: the center of society. They subject everything to a purely economically oriented internal rational. Love as well is only an exchange relation. Neoliberal thinking put on tracks, this is the train to Auschwitz.
