“With Kyttizens of the World, Tal searches for optimism and the possibility for change; the questions that are being asked attempt to convince the viewer to reconsider the relation between past and present, and the shifting from a fictive reality to an ever-becoming now. Questioning these relations she researches the sound of an Egyptian flute that was uploaded with cat memes, a sound that, according to the meme trend, evokes a cat’s memory of being worshipped in ancient Egypt. In her writing, Tal asks, “Could this sound eventually become a real ancient Egyptian song? Can this meme become an artifact?” Excerpt from an essay on Tal by Lucie Fortuin
