Nira Pereg (b. 1969, Tel Aviv) is a multidisciplinary artist engaged in the study of structures of control, rituals, and time through practices of research, documentation, and processing. Nira studied at The Cooper Union in New York and completed her further studies at Bezalel Academy of Arts (2000). Today she is an associate professor of art and the head of the Art School in Shenkar. Her works have been exhibited in major museums and biennials in Israel and around the world and have been widely recognized due to the unique combination of theoretical investigation, careful artistic language, and political complexity.



Her work dismantles and documents symbolic systems of power and influence, using a visual language that combines precision with poetic sensitivity. In her works, documentation is not a reporting act, but rather a process that produces a new archive and at the same time reveals the hidden mechanisms of the social and cultural space.

The video for Nira is not only a technical medium but a philosophical-conceptual tool, which enables a re-examination of reality. She deals with structures of repetition, reverberation, and disintegration, which challenge perceptions of linear time and stable space. Routine rituals are broken down into their components, and the way in which they are reconstructed and performed gives them new meanings, revealing the tension between order and abnormality, between holiness and profaneness.



Nira's exhibitions offer a dynamic viewing experience where the audience is invited to stay in spaces of uncertainty, where familiar categories are cracked and disintegrated. Her works open up the possibility of a renewed observation of the modes of construction of memory, testimony, and narrative, while questioning the mechanisms of representation and control.
