Miri Segal

Born in 1965 in Haifa (Israel), Miri Segal now lives and works in Tel Aviv. She inherited a taste for the mechanisms of perception from her doctorate in mathematics at the University of Jerusalem. She then trained at the Art Institute in San Francisco. Since 1990, the artist has focused on multi-media installations, using video, photography, light objects, mirrors and text to construct spaces in which the viewer's body plays an essential role. Using projection and anamorphosis, Miri Segal creates illusions and other interactive installations that disturb the vision of the body that inhabits them. Her work questions both the current socio-political context and the ethics and future of technology. In addition to her numerous exhibitions in Israel, the artist has also been honored in many countries around the world. Major institutions have devoted several solo exhibitions to her work, including MoMA and KANAL - Centre Pompidou (Brussels).
