Tair Uria

Tair Uria is a multidisciplinary artist working across video, sculpture, drawing, and kinetic assemblage. She is a recent graduate of the Master Artistic Research program at the KABK in The Hague.

In her work, she explores navigation within complex systems of forces and power relations, engaging with the body as a site of perpetual struggle. Her practice unfolds through self-sabotaging machines—fragile, restless systems that resist stability and navigate uncertain terrains without ever settling.
A recurring presence is the figure of the crocodile, a fragmented superorganism that stretches, splits, and mutates in an effort to widen the space between struggle and collapse. Underlying these explorations is a deeper engagement with autoimmunity as a dynamic of internal resistance—where instability emerges as a vital material logic and self-negation becomes a strategy for endurance.
