Rona Yefman

Rona Yefman (Hebrew: רונה יפמן) is an Israeli artist based in New York City working in Photography, Video and Installation.

"In the mid-90s her youngest brother Gil became her muse as she embarked on an intimate documentation of his unique adolescence, during a period of struggle and recovery for both of them.

Isolating themselves from the conflict zone in which they were raised, the siblings created a private dream-world, fuelled by dress-up and psychological games.

As they rejected societal and familial norms, their lives became a real-life version of Jean Cocteau’s infamous tale of sibling love and poison, Les Enfants Terribles.

Between reality and fiction, Rona Yefman’s brings us the flawless collaboration between photographer and actor, in this case, the artist and her sibling Gil.
