YAFIT TARANTO
FUN FATALE AND OTHER AGENTS OF CHANGE FROM VJ-ING TO CINEMA AND OUT OF THE CINEMA AGAIN
Yafit Taranto works with video material ripped from personal archives, television, films - weaving a tapestry of images, sounds and stories to reflect upon society. Her work revolves around personal forms of subversion and individual emancipation from the dominant power structures in society. She meets with the spectator in the context of expanded cinema and performance. Her background in VJ-ing and volunteer work at elderly homes are now merged into a new practice in which she facilitates transformational processes. She exhibited her work in the Van Gogh Museum, the Jewish Historical Museum, Frascati Theater and many other festivals, theatres and cultural events. Yafit Taranto is part of WIP (Work in Progress), a collective of multimedia makers such as artist and audio designer Yehudit Mizrachi and the choreographer and poet Branka Zgonjanin. www.yafittaranto.com
