Biography
Yael Yudkovik is a multidisciplinary Israeli artist working in the fields of installation, sculpture, drawing, and photography. During her military service, she served as an editor and producer at Galei Tzahal (Army Radio), focusing on culture, current affairs, and military and security issues. She holds a BA in art from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, and later studied psychology and social sciences at Tel Aviv University. She lives, works, and teaches in Tel Aviv.
Yudkovik combines diverse creative channels, often interwoven with biographical materials. Her work maintains a continuous dialogue with themes of death, memory, and forgetting, moving between the recognition of finitude and an ongoing attempt to defer it through visual tricks and acts of deception. The examination of loss and of the way it shapes identity plays a central role in her work. She operates through mechanisms of hybridization, transformation, and disruption, in dialogue with both local and universal visual sources and with the historical discourse of art. By connecting between biographical experiences and formalist sculptural inquiry, she creates disruptions and raises paradoxes that touch on fundamental questions of identity and place.
The works she creates are based on unexpected connections between materials, forms, and objects: sometimes between a ready-made and an element created in the studio, or between two found objects, and other times leaving the object as is, without intervention. In her works, tensions are created between geometric and minimalist formal abstraction and everyday materials, building materials, and ready-made objects.
