Eyal Segal

 

SHORT BIO: 

 

Eyal Segal (b. 1982) is an Israeli-born multidisciplinary artist with German and Indian (Cochin) roots. Working across video art, multi-channel video installation, painting, sculpture, and text, his practice explores time, memory, place, and the body as unstable and continuously shifting conditions. Moving between the archaeological and the visionary, Segal’s works engage with mythology, prophecy, human presence, and survival, constructing environments in which image, sound, architecture, and physical space become inseparable.

 

Place functions as a central axis in Segal’s work. His projects often emerge from direct encounters with specific sites, communities, and histories, where traces of human activity, memory, and political or spiritual tension accumulate over time. Through a sculptural approach to video installation, his works transform exhibition spaces into immersive environments in which different elements - moving image, sound, objects, text, and architecture - mutually influence one another. The exhibition space itself becomes an active component within the work: not a neutral container, but a living surface shaped by presence, action, and time.

 

During his studies (2006-2010), Segal worked as an assistant to artist Sigalit Landau. In 2013, he established his independent practice with his first solo exhibition at the Negev Museum of Art. Since then, he has exhibited internationally in museums, biennials, and festivals, with solo exhibitions and major installations presented in Budapest, Tel Aviv, Tokyo, and additional international venues.

 

Solo exhibitions and major installations include: Release: Return, FUGA Center, Budapest, 2015; Ground Level, LOKO Gallery, Tokyo, as part of the Yebisu International Festival for Art & Alternative Visions, Japan, 2018; Leviathan, Neve Schechter Gallery, Tel Aviv, 2020; and Line in the Sand, The Lab Artspace, Tel Aviv, curated by Sharon Toval, 2021. In 2021 and 2022, Segal was presented by Toval at the RAK Art Festival in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, among the first Israeli artists to exhibit there. In 2023, his work was included in the Tel Aviv Museum of Art Biennial. Most recently, he presented Deluge, a solo exhibition at LOKO Gallery, Tokyo, 2025.
