Artist Bio

Yotam Menda Levy creates film works that blend 3D animation, archival footage, and original writing to explore mythical and historical imagery that is rooted in Mesopotamian culture, Babylon, Iraq, and Jewish history. Reimagining these narratives in contemporary contexts, he focuses on figures that embody darkness and the suppressed, offering a lens through which to confront collective anxieties. Using timeless archetypes and modern storytelling techniques, his films reveal darkness—not as something to fear, but as a transformative force at the heart of humanity. Yotam Menda Levy has exhibited work at UCLA Margo Leavin Art Studios, Los Angeles; Jerusalem Film Festival, Jerusalem; and Artists’ Studios, Tel Aviv, among other institutions.
