Noam Toran’s work spans multiple disciplines and mediums, primarily involving the creation of objects and films that reflect upon the intersection between cinema, mass culture, technology, design and psychology. Consistently, the work appropriates the languages of cinema and design as a means with which to investigate or envision anomalies in contemporary culture. The works, whether presented in films or installations, are imagined as constructions for particular individuals and psyches, vehicles for an elaboration of the desires, fantasies and pathologies unique to modern subjects.
His work is exhibited, screened and published internationally, and is part of the NY MoMA and FRAC Ile-de-France collections. He currently teaches at the Royal College of Art and lectures worldwide.
