Niv Gafni is a sound artist, sculptor, composer, curator, and lecturer based in Tel-Aviv. His practice engages with the invisible and enigmatic forces that drive life, and with the spiritual field between humans and the non-human. Using sound as a form of existence, a way of thinking, and pure energy, he creates environments that encourage listening and observation, opening a gateway to a primal encounter with the world. Gafni harnesses the abstract qualities of sound into systems of movement, form, and space, oscillating between matter and spirit, the conscious and the unconscious, always seeking new understandings of art and existence.
