Prof. Hila Lulu Lin Farah Kufer Birim

A multi-sensory artist working simultaneously in diverse media: video-photography-installation-performance-drawing-printmaking-text-sound.

In my works over the years I have formulated, refined, and elaborated a visual language with which to articulate the private body's inner realms and grant them visibility in the external space.

The body as a specific site, here, in this vicious, hurting and hurtful, ever-so-glorious land. 

I operate in constant motion, questioning and challenging notions of gender, social and political definitions, between and within life and art. Searching day and night, trying to touch the body's burning skin, to expose and eradicate stubborn ailments, to address tough questions, to awaken and shed light on memories long lost in hibernation_oblivion.

Concurrently, I operate in the academic field as an active professor, teaching from my own personal perspective, bequeathing the possibility to follow different paths in the art world.

I live, work, and try to keep breathing in south Tel Aviv-Jaffa.
