Jonathan Omer Mizrahi (b. 1993) is an artist and filmmaker who explores relations of power through projects unfolding at the intersection of creativity and emergency. After graduating from the Academy of Media Arts Cologne, Om has participated in exhibitions and screenings at various art spaces and film festivals, and has been an artist-in-residence in Greenland, Denmark, Austria, Germany, and Israel/Palestine.

Mizrahi’s practice examines the tension between participation and control, and how these dynamics shape both artistic and civic spheres. Collaborating with individuals from diverse disciplines outside the art world – including researchers, activists, power plant workers, Inuit cybergoth teens, and agricultural communities worldwide. Mizrahi seeks not only to shape the images produced, but also to embrace the relationships formed between participants and the process of image-making itself.

At the core of Mizrahi’s artistic inquiry lies a drive to dismantle borders – formal, conceptual, and national. His work investigates how culture is conditioned by otherness, negative space, politics, and trauma. Through sensory experiments and visual research across cinematic, journalistic, and military media, Mizrahi reveals how state power affects perception.

His works along the Gaza–Israel border engage with pastoral landscape imagery to expose the historical entanglement between agriculture and war. These projects delve into the ecologies of national borders, the exchanges across fences, and the global flows of migrant workers and refugees.
