My name is Daniel Schoffman.
I am a video artist based in Tel Aviv.
My art uses images the way my words cannot express.
From painful emotions to exploration of life experiences -
the screen is my canvas.
YARDEN
Romi Gonen, at the time of making this video, had been a hostage in Gaza held by Hamas for 230 days. 230 days of hell. For Romi and her family. Yarden, Romi's older sister, speaks of this hell.
YARDEN was exhibited in the Will Their Voice Be Heard exhibition at the Hostages & Missing Families Forum in Tel Aviv in May 2024.
HOME BOUND
During the early quarantines of the COVID pandemic life seemed to have stood still. The question of political intervention, the illness from within, a virus floating around us, unseen but felt by all. What was the real enemy? Who are we fighting? What is home, for you?
EVERYDAY JEWELRY
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is it not? Anything can become art, fashion, or even jewelry if the beholder can see its potential.
This piece was a collaborative project with jewelry designer Sarah Jensen.
EVERYDAY JEWELRY exhibited at the Shenkar College of Engineering, Design and Art 2022 expo.
SELF OBSERVANT
The self. Separate and different to all, but somehow the same.
The loop of video and sound represents the thought pattern that we repeat to ourselves in self observation.
How do we speak to ourselves? How does thought run through our minds? Words? Images? Feelings?
