Adina Bar-On

Adina Bar-On (Hebrew: עדינה בר-און; born December 19, 1951), in Kibbutz Kfar Blum, Israel, is a pioneer performance artist, considered to be the first performance artist in Israel.

Active for four decades, Bar-On's work continuously explores the relationship between identity and presence, and most importantly "conflict of identity and conflicting identities". Her performances consist of unique use of human body and voice expression, close to modern dance and experimental sound techniques. Adina's work emphasizes strong connection of art and non-structural ethics of behavior, and introduces it by activating audience's high levels of attention and consciousness.
