Using spoken word, various soundtracks, costumes, masks and wigs, Ben-Tor&#8217;s videos and performances are a hysteric embodiment of her surroundings and an amplified over exaggerated interpretation of \u201cNormal\u201d\u00a0 .<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cMy consciousness is a sponge absorbing all of contemporary filth.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The artistic process for me, in the form of a performance, is to solidify this sponge into a hard stamp tool and press it back onto the audience&#8217;s consciousness for the duration of the performance.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At the end, I hope they come out of it stained, impressed, as I am, by the ailments of this time which we live in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">She has had solo shows at the Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Atlanta Contemporary Art Center; Kunsthalle Winterthur; and Cubitt, London. Ben-Tor has also participated in exhibitions at ZKM, Karlsruhe; Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia; Biennale of Sydney; Manifesta 7; Mori Museum, Tokyo; MoCA, Los Angeles; Reina Sofia, Madrid; as well as the PERFORMA 05 and PERFORMA 07 Biennials, New York.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">She has been collaborating with artist Miki Carmi since their joint Artists\u2019 book \u201cDisembodied
