    ISRAELI GIRLS

    DAFY HAGAI
    Photographer & Director
    Location | Tel Aviv, Israel
    Website | www.dafyhegai.com

    Photographer Dafy Hagai has got this whole female self empowerment
    thing down pat. In a nod to her own coming-of-age in Israel a place so
    often soaked in horror stories from the Gaza Strip as over a decade of
    tensions continue to simmer Hagais new work Israeli Girls captures a
    gang of youths from her hometown, poised on the cusp of adulthood in
    an Americana-teen tinged summer dream, transported to the dusty streets
    of Tel Aviv. But behind the cheeky smiles and nostalgia-inducing snaps,
    essentially, Hagai, who is often surprised to hear that people expect these
    girls to be covered up and conservative, is championing a generation of
    females exploring their sexuality, body ownership and the beauty of girl
    power amongst an uncertain political and social climate.

    Whats the concept behind Israeli Girls?


    It actually started out as a zine, in which I tried to show suburban Israeli
    youth culture. I live in Israel, and grew up as an Israeli girl in a small suburban
    town outside Tel Aviv, and this is pretty much the way my childhood looked.
    I thought most people dont really have an image of how youth culture
    looks like in a place like Israel, and especially when you think about girls and
    sexuality, so I wanted to show that.
    How did the project come about?
    I met Jurgen from APE at the LA Art Book Fair, where I was showing my
    original zine, and he asked me if Id be interested in making it into a book. I
    know the girls from a bunch of different places; some of them are friends,
    some I stopped in bars and some I met scouting at my old high school. I
    was looking for girls who reminded me of what I used to be like when I was
    growing up. I shot all over the suburban parts of Tel Aviv and the center
    of Israel, looking for places that didnt have a distinct cultural look and
    reminded me more of those American teen films that I had seen growing
    up.
    Are there any political messages embedded in the pictures? Some of them
    are quite provocative!
    Its more of a cultural statement than a political one. For the most part, Tel
    Aviv and the center of Israel arent conservative or religious, so these are
    just girls dealing with growing up, learning about their body, ownership and
    sexuality. These girls arent that different from girls growing up in Jersey, but
    its funny that people are surprised to see Israeli girls the way I shot them, as
    if they were supposed to be more modest or religious!
    What does girl power mean to you?
    Doing whatever I think is right for me without making compromises that are
    gender related. Collaborating with other girls so we can create communities
    and platforms where we can promote and support each other.
