Lilach Bar-Ami works in the space between local Israel culture and Japanese culture, between east and west, between myths, landscapes and children's tales that are part of "here," and those that belong "there." At the center of her works are landscapes of the artist's childhood in Hanita, a kibbutz on Israel's northern border. She explores the meanings of the concept of "border" on different levels: on the concrete level, the border denotes the existential threat to those living on the Israeli border; conceptually, the "border" concerns the discourse on the "blurring of borders" – between masculine and feminine, high and low, art and craft, art and commerce, "here" and "there."
Born in Kibbutz Hanita, 1964; lives and works in Tel Aviv
