Effi and Amir

Effi & Amir started working as a duo in 1999 while in art school, as a refusal of the artist-as-genius myth. In 2000 they co-initated Artattack, an independent art space on TV, which seduced them into video-making. When they left Israel in 2002 their new status as immigrants in Europe and outsiders in their own culture led them to an ongoing investigation of the notion of place and collective identity. Their practice involves video, performance and participatory methods and draws on documentary materials.
