About

Yael Gebhardt (b. 2002) is a video artist based in the Netherlands. Her practice is deeply rooted in the exploration of emotions. She employs emotion and feeling as the foundation for her work, using these as a conduit to initiate significant and impactful dialogues. Her goal is to foster reconnections among individuals through these conversations. Yael's keen insights into human emotions and interactions inform her belief that she can facilitate and enhance communication between people. She posits that the articulation of emotions and feelings is essential for a profound understanding of oneself and others.

Through the medium of personal narratives, Yael addresses universal themes, inviting viewers to introspect and reflect on their own experiences. Her work aims to bridge the gap between herself and her audience, encouraging them to create similar connections within their personal relationships.

Yael’s work is characterized by the integration of text, imagery, and spatial dynamics, which she uses to weave together personal and societal themes. She delves into the symbiotic relationship between societal events and personal experiences, underscoring how personal events can, at times, hold greater significance than broader societal occurrences. By highlighting personal stories, Yael seeks to convey the universal, utilizing elements such as her own archival material and autobiographical narratives.
