Hedgehogs in Tel Aviv, November 2008

I photographed the first hedgehog in Tel Aviv on a Thursday night, I was overwhelmed with the presence of it in such an urban neighborhood.

Since then I spent several months roaming the streets and parks of Tel Aviv looking for hedgehogs.
The hedgehog is an intimidating creature, but at the same time, bears a childish presence .

The contrast of the hedgehog against the urban landscape made me want to show the project, and it was presented as a solo show at The Arthouse, a gallery in the center of Tel Aviv, in 2008.
