MIRI SEGAL
Miri Segal’s artistic language, crystallized over the past twenty years, employs a variety of media – including video, light and text, treated objects involving hardware and software, photographic and computer-manipulated imagery. Through the involvement of sensory and physical manipulations, optical illusions, word games and enticing technological experiences, Segal's works often invade the viewer's space in unexpected ways. Floating images, Technological Ghosts, shadows without body and the Purgatorium - serve to subtly speculate on our capacity to apprehend concrete reality. Segal’s works reflect her interest in philosophical questions regarding Existence, Ethics of Technology, and Economic-Political Regimes.

Being Miri Segal

Media Installation: Camera, software, 3d scan


In 2018 the artist scanned her 50-something years old face using a 3D scanner. The 3D image obtained through this technology is afterward implemented through a software that allow this image to have its ‘own’ life – to make expressions, to speak, to appear and disappear. Just like a mirror (an oedipal mirror) the image on the monitor mimic the facial expressions of the person it has in front.
