Cecelia Condit

Cecelia Condit (born 1947, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American artist working in video. A storyteller producing videos since 1981, her work swings between beauty and the grotesque, innocence and cruelty. In the psychological landscape of contemporary fairy tales, Condit’s films put a subversive spin on the traditional mythologies of female representation and the psychologies of sexuality and violence. Exploring the dark side of female subjectivity, her work focuses of myths of old age, childhood, lovers, mothers, families, friends.
