Edri is a four-part video art work, with each part standing as an independent piece while also functioning as part of a unified whole.
The work is presented as a multi-channel installation, with each segment screened on a separate monitor.

​

Set in the heart of Mea Shearim- one of Jerusalem’s most ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods- the work precisely reenacts scenes from the iconic Hollywood film Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961, starring Audrey Hepburn).

 

Through an identical storyboard and matching camera movements, the piece stages a visual encounter between two cinematic languages: ultra-Orthodox women’s cinema and classic Hollywood film. Audrey becomes Edri; the croissant becomes Sfenj; Tiffany’s diamonds are replaced by the Jerusalem stones of Mea Shearim’s walls.

​

The video preserves the iconic cinematic sequence of the original film while reexamining visual aesthetics, bodily gestures, and performative rituals within the religious context -a space marked by restrictions on cinematic representation.
