• Meital Covo, born Israel, 1976, is a London-based artist working across the disciplines of moving image, sound and photography.

  The motivation behind my artistic endeavour is a desire for contact, but also a fear of it. My video and sound installations are imbued with a strong, sometimes even threatening sense of physical and emotional intimacies. Such intimacies, I find, originate in the suture between mind and matter, between force and flesh. For me, moving image and sound have the ability to capture this suture in its transitory manifestations, which would otherwise be forgotten.
