Noa Klagsbald is an interdisciplinary artist working across photography, sculpture, video, and installation. Her practice examines power dynamics and gender roles through large-scale staged productions, often situated within culturally charged arenas such as sport. Drawing from art historical iconography and contemporary visual culture, she constructs carefully composed scenes that approach the human figure with a sculptural sensibility, creating tension between performance and documentation. Collaboration is central to her work, involving performative processes with groups of men that explore how masculinity is rehearsed and embodied within collective environments. Her projects often expand into immersive, site-responsive installations that transform familiar spaces and reveal underlying structures of power and social behaviour.

Noa Klagsbald (b.1992) is an interdisciplinary artist living and working between Tel Aviv and London. She holds an MA in Photography from the Royal College of Art, London, and a BFA (Magna Cum Laude) from Shenkar College of Art. Klagsbald creates staged photographic and installation works exploring power dynamics and masculinity within culturally charged arenas such as sport. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including Camden Art Centre, OOF Gallery London, the Jewish Museum Lecce, Museum on the Seam, and the Cultural Olympics Paris. She was selected for New Contemporaries 2023 (UK) and is a Forbes 30 Under 30 alumna. A photograph from her GOAL series was presented aboard the International Space Station as part of Axiom Mission 1.
