Adina Bar-on's work holds a discourse about conflicts of identity and
conflicting identifications.

Her work, as a performer and a video artist creates moments of emotion and states of behavior that her audience might share in empathy or criticism. Adina has been an active performer since 1973 when she was a student at the Bazalel Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Jerusalem. She has been making video-works since 1999. She has presented her work in Israel's major museums and galleries.

Making it her business to emphasize her political and social stand she has insistently performed in social and political events. She frequently travels abroad as an artist and teacher. In 2001, Adina was awarded a major prize for her contribution to Israeli Arts by the American Israel Cultural Foundation, and a biographical book "Adina Bar-On, Performance Artist" was published.
