Ronit Keret, Born in Jerusalem, Lives, and works in Haifa and Tel Aviv. Keret has graduated from Hamidrasha Beit-Berl College of Art (2005-2009) and has a MA in Arts Education, at Leeds University, England (1998-2001).

In recent years, Keret, a multidisciplinary artist, is mainly engaged in site-specific installations and video-art.

Her work deals with the ecological crisis, such as the melting glaciers that have been changing due to the nature of the human activity that abuses earth's natural resources. The nature of the material used varies, and Keret focuses on industrial waste such as packaging (Styrofoam, cardboard, etc.) and other industrial compounds. In her works, Keret describes the transitions between good and evil in looking at human and nature relations and the gap between childhood dreams and catastrophic reality.

Late-night visions provide the source for most of my work. The oscillation between the conscious and unconscious; the quest for novel and alternative worlds and the unraveling of the connections between them; the marriage of the imaginative and the autobiographical - it all nourishes my sculptures, installations, paintings, and lately, also my video pieces, and create a meditative and aesthetic experience.
