A mother, an Israeli performance art artist and a teacher. Her working practice is based on live performance. She creates mini events with internal semiotic, linguistic and human logic.
Kineret has been busy with expanding the understanding of live art and its potential. Her works respond directly to reality and introduce performance as a process, and a junction of actions and interactions within a public situation shared by the audience and the artist.

“ I am here” is the ground where she creates her works from

I = is my identity, the elements that structure and exist in my physical, cultural, social body such as curly lion hair, north African look, a woman, Jewish, mother Etc. Am = my intention, my imagination, my target.

Here = this place, the history, the architecture, the story of the space and the poetic moment.
