Avner Pinchover (b. 1980) works mainly in video and performance, graduated from the postgraduate program at HaMidrasha (2018) and has a BArch degree with honors from the Technion Israel Institute of Technology (2012). 

In his works, Pinchover confronts his body with architectural environments, extreme conditions, and the viewer. In his actions, matter is loaded with energy; when it hits, there is a collision, penetration, or blast. The results are irreversible. Layers that have been covered are exposed, and vice versa. Potential that was latent in the material or the movement is being realized. He uses acts of violence and destruction as expressive means – aesthetic, poetic, and political.

A man hurls chairs at a wall for 12 minutes in what seems to be a holy-rage attack. This expressive video-performance fluctuates between satisfaction and futility while simultaneously creating visual compositions of destructive beauty.
