Runner Ein Trauerspiel, 2011

Lee Yanor (b. 1963, Haifa) is an Israeli artist living and working in Tel Aviv. Trained in photography at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem and at Pratt Institute in New York, she later received her MFA from Université Paris 8.
Yanor’s practice moves between photography, video, and installation, exploring the fragile territory between the body and memory. Through layered visual languages—emulsions on canvas, translucent voile prints, holograms, and multichannel video—her works construct immersive environments in which images appear, dissolve, and re-emerge.
Her work has been presented internationally, including at the Centre Pompidou, Paris; Taipei Fine Arts Museum; the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; the Tony Cragg Foundation, Wuppertal; and the Eretz Israel Museum, Tel Aviv. She is the recipient of the Leon Constantiner Photography Award (Tel Aviv Museum of Art) and the Coreografo Elettronica Prize (MADRE Museum, Naples, Italy).
