Hila Lulu Lin was born in 1964 in Afula

Hila Lin was born in 1964 on Kibbutz Mishmar HaEmek. As a young child she went with her parents to Qazvin, Iran, where they served as aliyah emissaries. After the family returned to Israel, they lived in Kfar Bilu.

From 1986 to 1989 she studied ceramic and glass design at Bezalel in Jerusalem. After her studies she added the name Lulu, a childhood nickname, to her name. Lulu is also the name of a font she designed.

She became known in the late 1980s for self-documenting video works. Her art deals with the body, sexuality and alienation, often through actions on her own body. Her first solo show came in 1992, and around 2000 her works grew larger and more political.

Her work has been shown in Israeli museums and abroad, including in the United States and Spain. Since 2019 she has been an associate professor at Bezalel. She lives in Tel Aviv with her partner, the artist Hanna Farah-Kufer Bir'im.
