Li Tavor is an architect, composer, performer, sound and visual artist currently based in Zürich, Switzerland. Their practice often negotiates the multiple ways of possible relations within a built environment. Further their work investigates how the intertwined nature of perceiving sound, space and time creates, reflects and shapes these subjectivities.
