A(Viv) Maoz Haggiag was born in Libya and fled with her family to Rome, Italy, as a refugee at the age of three. At eighteen, A(Viv) migrated to Israel. In 2013, A(Viv) moved to Berlin, where she lives and works today.

Working across photography, sculpture, and installation, A(Viv) integrates digital media and video to create hybrid visual environments. Shaped by early cross-cultural experiences, A(Viv)’s practice explores themes of borders, migration, origin, time, and refuge — both as personal narratives and broader cultural conditions.

The work seeks to evoke emotional and psychological states, inviting viewers into spaces of tension, transformation, and uncertainty. A(Viv)’s creative process is intuitive and exploratory, allowing ideas to emerge organically through visual experimentation.

A(Viv) holds a Fine Arts Diploma from Minshar School of Art in Tel Aviv and a Diploma in Curatorial and Museology Studies from the Israeli Art Institute.

A(Viv) continues to work as both an artist and curator in Berlin and Israel.
