Alona Rodeh (Hebrew: אלונה רודה) is a visual artist. Her work spans a variety of media including sculpture, video, immersive installations using light and sound, photography, and publishing.[1]

Biography

Born and raised in Israel, Rodeh received her BFA from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem in 2003, and participated in the BFA exchange program of the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna. She completed her MFA at the Tel Aviv campus of Bezalel in 2009, spending a semester at the Sculpture Department of the Royal College of Art, London.[2] Rodeh lives and works in Berlin.

Work

Expanding on sculpture, and applying her experience as a set designer for theater,[3] Rodeh has created large-scale, often room-spanning installations. She combines light, movement, and sound in a manner she describes as performance without performers,[1] delivering time-based experiences.[4]

Rodeh is known for her Safe and Sound Project where she explores histories of off-the-shelf reflective and fluorescent illumination technologies.[5][6][7]
