Hally Pancer was born in 1961 and raised in New York. She studied literature at Bennington college, finishing her studies at Parsons School of Design where she earned her BFA in photography.
In 1988 after receiving her MFA from Yale University and completing a large scale project on the United States, she moved to Israel where she continued her photographic work and became a professor of photography at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, Hadassa College of Art and Design in Haifa and Kalisher School of Art in Tel Aviv. While in the region she completed a number of social documentary projects in an effort to influence public opinion regarding the Middle East Peace process.
From 1988 through 1993 she traveled from the north to the south of Israel for her portrait series; Some Arabs and some Jews. This work was exhibited, with Amanoot La’am, throughout the country reaching both Arab and Israeli populations.

Her project, Beyond Borders (1995-2001) was a landmark program uniting Israeli and Palestinian students in a framework of co-existence, using photography as a mediator. This fruits of this project were exhibited and implemented in various areas of conflict such as Belfast, Dublin, Belgrade, Kosovo, Jerusalem and Gaza in addition to several cities in the United States and Europe.
From 1991 through 2005, parallel to these projects, she turned the lens on her family creating the series LIFELIKE.

Hally Pancer wurde in New York geboren (1961) und aufgezogen. Sie studierte Literatur am Bennington College und erlangte an der Parsons School of Design den Titel des Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fotografie. Nach ihrem Masterabschluss 1988 an der Yale University führte sie ein umfangreiches Projekt über die Vereinigten Staaten aus, ehe sie nach Israel umzog, um dort ihr fotografisches Schaffen voranzubringen und um Lehraufträge als Professorin für Fotografie anzunehmen an der Jerusalemer Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, des Hadassa College of Art and Design in Haifa und der Kalisher School of Art in Tel Aviv. Ihre Arbeit in dem Land enthielt stets den Versuch, durch sozialdokumentarische Projekte Einfluss zu nehmen auf die öffentliche Meinung über den Friedensprozess im Nahen Osten: Von 1988 bis 1993 durchquerte sie Israel von Nord bis Süd für die Portraitserie Some Arabs and Some Jews. Diese Serie wurde an verschiedenen Orten im Land ausgestellt und erreichte sowohl arabische als auch israelische Bevölkerungsschichten. Von 1994 bis 1997 arbeite sie an der Golan-Serie. Die daraus resultierenden Landschaftsfotos stellte man bei Abschluss der Serie im Israel Museum Jerusalem aus. Mit Beyond Borders (1995-2001) schuf Pancer ein Programm, das zu einem Meilenstein der Bemühungen um eine friedliche Koexistenz von Israelis und Palästinenser avancierte, indem sie Studenten beider Seiten im Rahmen des dokumentarischen fotografischen Arbeitens einander näher brachte. Die Früchte dieser Arbeit erlangten später Ausstellungsreife. Gezeigt wurden die Fotografien in vielen Gegenden mit Konfliktpotenzial wie Belfast, Dublin, Belgrad, dem Kosovo, Jerusalem, Gaza, sowie in anderen Städten in den USA und Europa, sie wurden teilweise dort auch entsprechend umgesetzt.
Parallel zu den genannten Projekten richtete Pancer ihre Kamera zwischen 1991 und 2005 ebenfalls auf ihre Familie, es entstand die Serie LIFELIKE.
2001 folgte ein Umzug nach Paris. Seitdem nahm sie Lehraufträge an als Professorin für Fotografie an der Parsons Paris School of Design, der L’Ecole Superieure du l’Art et Design in Amiens und dem Pariser CEA Global Campus. Im September 2011 ist Pancer Gastprofessor an der Pariser Science Po.
