Hinda Weiss is a photographer and video artist, born in 1980 in Cleveland, Ohio and raised in Jerusalem. Weiss holds an MFA from Columbia University and a BFA from the Midrasha School of Art, Beit Berl. She is currently based in New York.

Weiss’s works are compositions of landscapes that are charged with local histories and echo contemporary human existence. Using photography, video and sound manipulation with digital adaptation techniques, Weiss merges places and times into non-existent yet familiar environments. Contradictory to the “high-tech,” highly processed editing methods she uses, the way Weiss collects these materials is extremely basic: alone, with a small camera.

Weiss’s work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions, group exhibitions and video screenings in venues such as the Tel Aviv Museum and Palais de Tokyo, Paris. Weiss has received numerous awards and prizes including the Artis Exhibition Grant, the Ostrovsky Family Fund Grant, and the Outset Contemporary Art Fund Young International Artist Award. She completed a residency with Artport in 2015. Weiss’s work can be found in the collections of the Israel Museum, the Herzliya Museum, and the Shpilman Institute for Photography, as well as private collections.
