Marcelle Tehila Bitton is working across diverse mediums such as installation, video, drawings, technology, and creative content.
Her works often deal with questions of glamor and value, related to attribution and belonging- through
customs and myths to canons of beauty, luxury, and hierarchical criteria within political and socio-cultural systems.
