Lior Shvil is a video artist. He is also a sculptor, director, actor, was previously an architect, and served as a marine in the Israeli military. Being brought up speaking four languages, this diversity is also apparent in his artistic practices. I came across Lior’s work at the Leslie Heller Workspace gallery in the Young Israelis group show. Captivated by a stark, clean, forced black and white print hanging on the wall, I immediately approached the gallerist about it. All of the images hanging on the wall are actually representations of all the videos that are in the Young Israelis show.
