Yuval Avital was born in 1977 in Jerusalem

Yuval Avital was born in Jerusalem in 1977. He later settled in Milan, Italy, where he is based.

His work combines sound, visual art, performance, video art and theater. He creates large sound and video installations, solo exhibitions and group performances he calls icon-sonic operas. These are written for soloists, choirs, orchestras and ensembles, and sometimes include traditional masters, dancers and non-musicians.

He often works with scientific institutes such as NASA, with ethnographic archives, craftsmen and whole city communities. His themes include identity, memory, nature and dialogue between cultures. In 2016 his icon-sonic opera Fuga Perpetua was sponsored by the UNHCR.

Since 2022 he has held a series of solo exhibitions in Italy. They took place in Parma, Reggio Emilia, Rome, Modena and Lecce.
