The body has long been referenced by artists as a source of inspiration and interpretation. Doron Polak takes his art to the ultimate level by actually using his own body in creating his art. Working in the nude, he creates an environment in collaboration with other artists. Unlike tradition performance art which involves a relationship between performer and audience, Doron has no audience, “performing” instead for video and still cameras.

Using objects with which he seems to have an emotional connection, he manipulates and maneuvers around them utilizing not only his body and the object(s) but interacting with his environment as well. As the action progresses both artist and action meld into one, fusing into a living breathing work of art. Captured on video each frame of the action becomes an artifact, a visually unique and powerful remnant in time. His work is simultaneously ephemeral and timeless.
