Noy & Tamir are an Israeli multidisciplinary artist duo and romantic partners who have been collaborating for over a decade. Their practice brings together highly skilled craftsmanship with political and social critique, constructing elaborate, detail-driven universes that respond to the complexities of contemporary reality.
​
Their visual language combines complex figurative ceramic works with digital media, video, sound, and lighting, creating theatrical or pseudo-scientific environments. Their work engages with personal and collective trauma, systems of control and power, anxiety, and the lived experience of working as a queer couple. It has persistently addressed the consequences of the Israeli occupation and of living under ongoing war — its personal and collective toll, the erosion of moral boundaries, and the ways it shapes spaces of creation.
​
They describe their work as hyper-referenced: drawing on mythological archetypes, recurring motifs such as Assyrian warrior figures, temples, warning signs, and ritual structures, alongside visual languages taken from fantasy worlds, video games, and role-playing games. Clay is central to their practice, embodying playfulness, therapeutic potential, and the tension between freedom and control. Its instability, fragility, and versatility become a way to explore the queer body as mutable, vulnerable, excessive, and resistant to fixed form.
