ARTIST STATEMENT

I am a body artist, and I enjoy incorporating different artistic mediums or moving between them to raise questions about the nature of our physical existence in the world. I was born in Tel Aviv in 1996, and raised in Israel, Germany and the United States. The plurality and frequent shift in cultures, countries and languages I have experienced in my upbringing all find their way into my works, in which I explore the philosophy of language and attempt to bridge between spoken language, written language and the language of the body.

My pieces usually begin with a semantic question, which turns into a performative research. The body in motion and the written word are the two axes around which my artistic practice revolves. Inspired by a phrase or triggered by words I read or write, I then attempt to embody, break down, analyze and reconstruct their meanings via choreographic and theatrical scores. Literature, poetry and psychoanalysis are the theoretical foundations that anchor my work. I consider myself a storyteller, and use the three languages at my disposal – Hebrew, English and movement – to tell autobiographical and universal stories about immigration, identity, sexuality, love and an ongoing search for a home.
