Tal Alperstein holds a BFA degree from Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design and an MA from the School of Film and Television at Tel Aviv University. Alperstein is a multidisciplinary artist, creating video performances and collages.

In recent years, Alperstein has produced video works serving as a platform for performative action and an exploration of the living body, time, and space. Cinematic space and time become the setting for these actions. In her video works, the intersection of performance and cinema allows an exploration of immediacy through the cinematic language. Amidst the spectacular cinematic language, within a world where time is efficiently organized, Alperstein gives time to the duration of the action, to real-time, to the everyday and mundane.

Performing an action within a cinematic space also allows questioning the living body. The embodied body can act in ways impossible outside the digital realm: disassemble and reassemble, leap through time, and duplicate. In addition to investigating the body, video and performance serve as tools to explore architectural spaces. Her video scripts are written into buildings and architectural spaces.

Currently, Alperstein is creating a public space performance. The new work will consist of a series of lively actions related to language and speech, exploring the connection between the speaking body and technological means that also transmit words as a means of establishing a connection. The connection between analog and digital communication will be used to explore the public space within which the work is poured: how messages can move within it from place to place as a way to examine the movement and physical limitation that this specific space allows or inhibits.

Alperstein has presented her works in exhibitions and festivals in Israel, Europe, and East Asia. Her short film “Home Movie” won the 2021 award at the Videodrunk Festival for alternative cinema in Ontario, Canada. Her video works have been screened at the Kaunas Biennial in Lithuania, NEXT! Doc-Aviv Festival, and D’EST in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Alperstein has received grants for her work from the Rabinovich Foundation, the Special Projects Fund of the Tel Aviv Municipality, and the Pais Culture and Arts Fund. Her latest solo exhibition, “P’nim,” was presented in 2022 at the Liveline Gallery in Tel Aviv. Currently, she is working on a new project as part of the Pais Art Fund at “The Fridge” Gallery in Tel Aviv.
