Hila Lulu Linn (born Hila Lin), Israeli, born 1964

Hila Lin was born in Kibbutz Mishmar HaEmek. When she was two years old, the family was sent to Qazvin, Iran for three years as aliyah emissaries. After their return to Israel they lived in Kfar Bilu. Lin added the name Lulu after her studies at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.
In the 1990s, she designed a Hebrew font bearing her name which she uses in her art and poetry books. In 1992, she held her first solo show at Bograshov Gallery. Her multi-disciplinary work combines photography, video, sculpture and installation art. Her work features sensual images alluding to unconventional sex. In End to Tears (2004), the artist is photographed smearing egg yolk on her body. Lulu Lin works and lives in Tel Aviv.
