Artudio is pleased to welcome Ohr Marom Munk, an artist from Israel, as the resident artist for May 2026 at the Artudio International Artist Residency (AIAR).
Ohr Marom Munk is a new media artist working across video, still imagery, video mapping, and installation, alongside practices in editing and cultural production. A graduate with distinction from the Department of Multidisciplinary Art, New Media and Arts at Musrara School, Munk also holds a Bachelor’s degree with honors in Culture, Creation and Production from Sapir College.
Munk’s practice is rooted in an ongoing exploration of transformation—particularly the process of translating pain into a form that can be observed, held, and at times reconfigured into something resembling beauty. This approach embraces discomfort as a necessary condition of creation, engaging with emotional and psychological spaces that resist easy resolution.
Emerging from a generational position between analog and digital worlds, Munk’s work reflects a lived experience shaped by rapid technological evolution. This duality informs a visual and conceptual language where memory, landscape, and identity are often perceived as fragmented, layered, and constructed—what the artist describes as terrains formed through replicated pixels.
At the core of Munk’s practice lies a tension between poetic, affective inquiry and the reductive, binary logic of digital systems. It is within this friction that the work unfolds—where images destabilize, narratives open, and new modes of perception begin to surface.
During the residency, Munk will engage with Kathmandu’s dense cultural fabric and evolving urban landscape, using the city as both context and catalyst. Through research, experimentation, and dialogue, the residency period will extend his ongoing inquiry while contributing to the shared ecosystem of AIAR and the broader Artudio community.
