MOP VENGEANCE is Israeli artist Keren Cytter’s third solo exhibition at Pilar Corrias. On the ground floor, Museum of Photography (MOP) forms a large archive of Polaroid photographs documenting Cytter’s life as she travelled from Berlin, to London, to the US and Israel between 2012 and 2013. On the lower-ground floor, Vengeance, a seven-part video narrative epic, takes Cytter's own currently changing life situation as inspiration. Having recently moved to New York, Cytter performs dramatic US-style soap opera clichés about love, envy, betrayal, and vengeance.
