B.1969, Tel-Aviv, Israel

Nira Pereg's work deals with ways that social structures intersect with the

authority of the individual. Typically, her projects are documentary based,

but transform reality into an quasi-theatrical events. Using complex editing

techniques and various-scaled multimedia installations, Pereg's interest in

socials schemes draws on a unique and personal perspective. “Re-looking”

is a primary concern in her work practice and her everyday life, and often

builds on periods of intense travel and close  observations.

Pereg, born in in Israel, spent the 90s in New-York, where she  received a

B.F.A from Cooper Union. On her  return to Israel, she graduated from the

Bezalel M.F.A studio program in  Jerusalem, and has been teaching

internationally  ever since. Pereg's works have been exhibited at PS 1 New

York, HDK  Berlin, ZKM Karlsruhe, the Israeli Museum in Jerusalem,

Sammlung Goetz-München, Edith-Ruß-Haus für Medienkunst, The Tel-Aviv

museum, and at various festival  and  galleries, recently a receiver of the

Nathan Gottesdiener Foundation Israeli Art Prize for young artist 2009.
