Nahum’s oeuvre goes deep into the human experience by challenging our perceptions through unusual perspectives. Navigating between the real and the imaginary, his work produces events that reframe the way we understand the world. He often employs outer space technologies, illusionism and hypnosis to guide audiences into otherworldly journeys to raise critical dialogues about the politics of existence. Nahum’s multidisciplinary work orchestrates a wide range of media including performance, installation, video, music, drawing and storytelling.
Nahum is the Founding Director of KOSMICA, a global institute with the mission to establish a platform for critical, cultural and poetic discourse on our relationship with outer space and the impact of space activities here on Earth. He was the first artist to be awarded the title of Young Space Leader for his unique cultural contributions to astronautics and space exploration.
His work has been exhibited internationally in venues including: Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, Germany; The Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), The British Museum and FACT in the UK; Garage Museum in Moscow, Russia; SESC, São Paulo, Brazil; Museum of Latin American Art, Long Beach,California, Rubin Center, el Paso, Texas in USA; Bonniers Konsthall in Stockholm, Sweden; National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taichung, Taiwan; and Laboratorio Arte Alameda, Museo Jumex in Mexico City.
