Faina Feigin
Born in Rybnitsa, Moldova, lives and works in Tel Aviv.
Graduated in Art and Education from the Kibbutzim College (2019).
Faina Feigin is a multidisciplinary artist; founder and member of the Bush Collective which promotes queer feminist art (2016); she creates installations around video-animations based on personal or national archival material. Her main focus is on the “architecture of migration” of both human bodies and architectural structures. For the immigrant, the act of scanning and analyzing her surroundings constitutes a basic and daily activity: it is a survival tool for understanding power relationships and how to fit within them as an individual. The use of animation allows her to dismantle organized institutional thoughts and to weave in different histories of migration and refugees.
She participated in group exhibitions including: A City Under a Roof, We Love Art (2020); Well, Edmond de Rothschild Center (2020); The Alhambra Hotel, Nahum Gutman Museum (2019); Body Memory, Minshar Gallery (2019); COMINT, Indie Gallery (2018); Light Pollution, Nightlight TLV (2018).
