i Love my life! is a limited edition work from a collaborative project between artists Rona Yefman and Tanja Schlander, titled "Pippi Longstocking, The Strongest Girl in the World!" (2006-8). Through video, performance, photography, text, and installation, Yefman and Schlander re-imagine Longstocking in contemporary terms, a heroine who takes on today’s challenges with humor, absurdity, grace, and amazing strength.
This edition puts those same powers into your hands, letting you spray the affirmation “I Love my life!” on any surface you choose. The edition comes with a reusable steel stencil, a can of fluorescent pink spray paint (adorned with a sticker from "Pippi L. at Abu Dis" (2008), a related video by Yefman) and a white canvas bag that can serve as your first test surface. The work is designed to inspire you to recognize your personal power to effect daily positive change in any environment. According to Yefman, "Pippi represents the ultimate female heroine, one who promotes peace and unity. As the strongest girl in the world, she explores a new mode of liberation that forgoes artificial borders and reflects the desire of so many individuals in the world who seek to improve their political and the personal realities."
Rona Yefman (b. 1972) lives in New York where she completed her M.F.A. at Columbia University. She has been featured in recent exhibitions Art Focus: Can Art Do More?, Jerusalem (2008); Sommer Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv (2006); MARCO Vigo, Spain (2006); Christian Ehrentraut Gallery, Berlin (2005); Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art (2005); Haifa Museum of Art (2001). Yefman is regularly commissioned to photograph for New York Magazine.
