Born in Jaffa in 1972, lives and works in Tel Aviv.
Shay-Lee Uziel's elusive work challenges the viewer with absurd humor conveyed with profound earnestness. His works incorporate various media and juxtapose high and low, good taste and bad taste, art and design.
The installations and objects, alongside the performative video works he creates using prosaic objects he gleans from everyday reality, construct fictional and poetic attainable realms; a fantastical, disturbing, and comforting world that brings forth questions concerning cultural, economic, and political power relations, and undermines the obvious.
