Born in Herzliya in 1978, lives and works in Tel Aviv.
Yael Efrati's work is unique in its ability to translate the materials of everyday, particular, and local language to contemporary Post-Minimalist sculptural language, rooted in Israeli and international 1970s art. Efrati creates a type of documentary sculptures with architectural components and photographs them. Her works feature houses, structures, and construction materials, displaced from their original appearance and designation and converted into a photographed illusion. Her works engage in documentation, restoration, preservation, mending, reconstruction as well as deconstruction, as actual actions and as sculptural practices, and lie in the space between photography, video, and sculpting.
