Shir Handelsman explores into the interruptions, emotional discord, and idiosyncrasies of human relationships through his multifaceted art practice, which includes video and film, sculpture, drawing, music, and sound. By situating everyday scenarios within artificial environments, he creates a surreal parallel existence where autobiography, historical myths, and psychedelic fantasies converge. His works possess a performative quality, characterized by complex choreographies and musical compositions. By exploring the interplay between sound installations, large-scale video projections, and kinetic sculptures, Handelsman’s art often embraces a grand, operatic scale.

Shir Handelsman has exhibited work at Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, Israel; Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art, South Korea; and Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Denmark, among others.
