Jeu Claques

Born in Paris, Dan Robert Lahiani is a video artist and photographer who has lived in Israel for 4 years. After having studied acting in Paris for 5 years (Cours Florent), he started scientific studies which led him to get a master’s degree in civil engineering ( Lycée Louis Le Grand,  Mines de Nancy). He moved to Israel to achieve his first project as an engineer in a solar energy company.

After two years, he decided to quit his work in order to devote himself to his interest in art, and more specifically to video and photography. He directed three documentaries featuring his brother and his partner Yoanna.

In this personal process, Dan Robert also films himself telling stories through physical performances (The 24th Frame, 2016). In 2013, he starts studying at The Bezalel Academy of Art and Design of Jerusalem, in the Screen Based Art department, and continues his path of introspection through video installations (Skyline, 2016), (Le Grand Tour, 2014), (Jeu de Claques, 2014)
