An Israeli-American artist, filmmaker and writer, known for his multilayered and provocative work which often challenges the divides between history and the present, documentary and fiction, politics and erotics. Rosen is a professor at Ha'Midrasha Faculty of Arts, Beit Berl College, in Israel.
Rosen dedicated years to his fictive feminine persona, the Jewish-Belgian Surrealist painter and pornographer Justine Frank, a project that entailed fabricating her entire oeuvre as well as a book, 'Sweet Sweat' (Sternberg Press, 2009), and a short film, 'Two Women and a Man' (2005).
In 2010 Rosen created two films, 'Hilarious' and 'Out'. 'Out' premiered at the Venice film festival, where it won the Orizzonti award for best medium-length film. The film went on the win numerous awards, including a nomination for the European Academy award.
Rosen’s film 'The Dust Channel' was coproduced by Documenta 14, where it was exhibited along with two major text and image installations by the artist: 'The Blind Merchant' (1989-1991), and 'Live and Die as Eva Braun' (1995-1997).
Several retrospectives of Rosen's films were held, among them at the Oberhausen film festival (2012), La Roche sur Yon festival (2013), and FICUNAM festival, Mexico City (2018). In 2018 an expansive one person exhibition was held at Centre Pompidou, Paris, entitled Histoires dans le pénombre. The exhibition also included a full film survey.
