Cassandra Tytler

Cassandra Tytler works across installation and single-channel modes of practice. Her work explores contemporary cultural iconography, idealised reality and realised fantasy. Fascinated by the symbolism of popular clichés, Tytler employs experimental script writing processes that pastiche isolated, fragmented conventions into compelling, revealing stories. Her work focuses on reinventing identities through performance, and what this reveals about our cultural longings. Her films have screened in numerous festivals in Australia, the U.S.A., Korea, and Europe, and she has exhibited work in a number of galleries such as A.R.A.C., Paris, Harold Golen Gallery, Miami, Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces, Melbourne, Plimsol Gallery, Tasmania, Kings Artist Run Initiative, Melbourne, and Westspace Gallery, Melbourne. Tytler completed her Masters degree in Media Arts at R.M.I.T., Melbourne, in 2003.
