Boaz Kaizman was born in 1962 in Tel Aviv

Boaz Kaizman was born in Tel Aviv in 1962. From 1986 to 1988 he studied art at the Avni Institute in Tel Aviv and at the art academy in Ramat HaSharon.

In the late 1980s he began showing his work in Israel. In 1993 he moved to Germany and settled in Cologne. From 1995 to 1998 he studied at the Düsseldorf art academy, and in 1998 he became a master student of Konrad Klapheck.

Since the mid 1990s he has focused on video. His works deal with the tension between word and image and between fiction and documentary. Since 2006 he has taught at the PXL-MAD art school in Hasselt, Belgium.

His film Maalesh premiered in Cologne in 2004 and entered the Museum Ludwig collection in 2006. In 2018 he released Tigersprung with Peter Rosenthal and Marcus Seibert, a film about the Jewish cycling manager Ernst Berliner that won the Golden Crank in Herne. His video installation Green Area was shown at the Museum Ludwig in 2021 and 2022.
