Smadar Dreyfus was born in 1963 in Tel Aviv and currently lives and works in London. She is interested in the negotiation of cultural perspectives and the ambiguity and gaps that are generated by it, while considering a socio-political context and how it is reflected in daily life. Her work insists on complete immersion of the viewer in an unfolding relationship between the visual and the aural, where a shift of perception takes place. Significant in her current work is the way sound, and in particular the voice, 'enacts' the public arena, and how identity is constructed through language.
In 2008 she will premier her new work ‘Mother's Day’ at ExtraCity, Antwerp. Her installation 'Lifeguards' premiered in the 9th International Istanbul Biennial, 2005, and was included in Trial Balloons exhibition at Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Castilla y' Leon (MUSAC), Spain, Ikon Gallery Birmingham and the Victoria Miro Gallery, London, UK in 2006.
