Haifa, 1975. Lives and works in New York and Tel Aviv.

My video installations concentrate on the outer edges of human behavior. I create hybrids of nature and culture, in which the untouched and the artificial merge into one familiar/alien entity. Creating friction between the real and the imaginary, the videos allow the viewer to project and generate narrative. Violating the correlation between cause and effect, my videos undermine trust in the cinematic apparatus and open a space in which the poetic and the pathetic coexist.
