Adina Bar-On, (Hebrew: עדינה בר-און); born December 19, 1951 in Kibbutz Kfar Blum, Israel, is a pioneer performance artist, considered to be the first performance artist in Israel.
Active for four decades, Bar-On’s work continuously explores the relationship between identity and presence, and most importantly “conflict of identity and conflicting identities”.[1] Her performances consist of unique use of human body and voice expression, close to modern dance and experimental sound techniques. Adina’s work emphasizes strong connection of art and non-structural ethics of behavior, and introduces it by activating audience’s high levels of attention and consciousness.
