Lucy is Sick

Roee Rosen (born 1963 in Rehovot) is an Israeli-American multidisciplinary artist, filmmaker, and writer known for his multilayered, provocative works that blur the lines between history and the present, documentary and fiction, and politics and erotica. Educated in philosophy and literature at Tel Aviv University before earning a BFA from the School of Visual Arts (1989) and an MFA from Hunter College (1991), Rosen is a professor at Beit Berl College’s HaMidrasha Faculty of the Arts and at the Bezalel Academy. He is known for fabricating intricate fictional personas like Justine Frank and Maxim Komar-Myshkin, and for works such as Live and Die as Eva Braun, The Blind Merchant, The Dust Channel, and Kafka for Kids. His films Out (or Tse) and The Buried Alive Videos have garnered international acclaim, and his work has been exhibited worldwide in institutions such as Centre Pompidou, documenta 14, and in retrospectives.
