At the core of her work lies an exploration of non-hierarchical relationships between sound and image. Liran approaches musical composition and visual form as autonomous artistic entities, each capable of existing independently as a complete work. Rather than conceiving their relationship in terms of accompaniment or hierarchy, she investigates the aesthetic possibilities that arise through their interaction. In her work, music and image enter into a dialogue in which neither medium is subordinate to the other. Their encounter generates a new artwork: an audiovisual form whose temporal and aesthetic qualities emerge from the interaction between two distinct yet interconnected presences.

Over the course of her academic career, Liran has dedicated much of her research to slowness in cinema and its relationships with music, audiovisual culture, and contemporary art.

Alongside her research and artistic activities, Liran works as an academic writing editor, mentor, educator, and curator. Curatorial practice constitutes a central strand of her work. Through exhibition-making, curatorial writing, and collaborations with museums and cultural institutions, she explores the relationships between contemporary art, cinema, sound, and visual culture. Through editing and teaching, she has worked closely with students, researchers, and academic staff across a wide range of disciplines, contributing to scholarly projects at every stage of development, from early ideas to completed publications.
