Nekoda Singer

After he was born in 1960 in Novosibirsk (Russia), Nekoda Singer immediately began to indulge in fantasies, both verbal and visual. Dreaming of faraway continents at the age of 13, he began to work with animals in a local zoo, but after finishing school instead of going around the world, he started to work as a set decorator in the local Opera, as well as study at the Institute of the Theatre, Music and Cinematography in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg).

After that, he spent several years being a garbage collector in Leningrad and Latvian folk craftsman in Riga (Latvia). In 1988, he finally settled in Jerusalem (Israel). In 1991, together with Gali-Dana Singer, he wrote The Manifest of Neo-Eclecticism. Since then, he constantly breaks the laws of this radical art movement and dismisses himself from it. His artwork was displayed at more than 60 solo and group exhibitions in Israel and abroad. His 5 books of fiction were published in Russian and Hebrew. He is a co-editor (with Gali-Dana Singer) of Russian and Hebrew literary e-zine Nekudataim – Dvoetochie.
