A trans-disciplinary conceptual artist, Gil Yefman deconstructs and transforms canonized myths from varied beliefs and traditions. By undermining structured definitions and portrayal of the other, Yefman explores and cherishes the intrinsic potential of the extraordinary. Yefman’s collaborative projects fuse memory, trauma and body, with trans-generational multilayered relations where soft materials dissolve hard subject matters. Yefman uses archival materials as points of departure from which the knitting process resembles writing–texts and contexts become textures suggesting alternative interpretations to dogmatic translations.

Gil Yefman has exhibited work at Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Israel; Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton, France; and Aomori Contemporary Art Centre, Japan, among others.
