Director of
SNOW TAPES
(b. 1981, Beer Sheva, IL) is a visual artist and a researcher at the Jan van Eyck Academy, Maastricht (NL). His work in recent years is centered on and out of the divided city of Hebron, West Bank, where he's established a community-based art platform on the border zone between the Jewish Tel Rumeida settlement and the surrounding Palestinian neighborhood. His artistic practice stems from his own personal experience and engages the Arab-Jewish relationship - as a site of conflict, cooperation, co-influence. His work is documentary-based and employs various video techniques - filmmaking, live web streaming, installation, and archival work - as well as architectural interventions and graphic design. His recent short film, "Snow Tapes", won the grand prize at the 58th International Short Film Festival, Oberhausen, DE. He is a recipient of the Mortimer-Hays Brandeis Fellowship (USA) for 2011-12. He holds a B.A. in Visual and Environmental Studies from Harvard College.
