Keren Cytter's video Dreamtalk presents an ironic love triangle involving a couple and their male friend. The friend desires the girl, but she is loyal to her boyfriend, and he is seemingly obsessed with Sandra, a character on a TV reality-show. Parroting this show, the remaining couple asks themselves in the last moments, “Who is the looser, who is the winner?” So, what is happiness, what is resolution, and what is emotion? Keren Cytter’s work raises all these questions presenting the viewer with a situation of a constant present where memory is being claimed in the midst of an unknown future.
Dreamtalk was often exhibited together with Cytter's film Atmosphere - both works form a sort of diptych on the themes of memory, attraction and the perception of affection.
