Uzi
Amrani
Uzi Amrani (b. 1977) is a multidisciplinary artist. He was raised in a national-religious home, the fourth of eight siblings.
Amrani worked as a costume designer for a decade, during which he gained wide recognition culminating in winning the Ophir Award (Israeli equivalent to the Academy Awards) for best costume design for his work on the TV series Shtisel.
In 2007, Amrani, already a father with a family of his own, began to experience PTSD following his military service as a medic in the Second Lebanon War. His art addresses these processes, memories, and events from his military experience, combined with his heritage and national identity.
Amrani’s engagement in art derives from longing for the past together with a strong yearning for the good things – those that currently exist and those that are yet to come.
