Marie Lourier
Broken Street
Words by Nastasia Khmelnitski
Broken Street is a story shot in Tel-Aviv by Marie Lourier that features an emerging local talent Sharon Strimban. The street is an embodiment of the changing city that is reshaped to a city of Start-Up culture with the appearing skyscrapers while still preserving old buildings from the 20s and 30s. The shoot was located between the renowned White City area, the construction site of a light railway, and the older neighborhood that has been revived to become a vibrant street embellished with cafes.

Vintage clothing and styling assembled by Marie's sharp vision bring in a youthful, rebellious impression assimilated to city life. Sharon is confidently walking the streets, pausing next to the undone corners, trash cans, a truck, the not-yet unassembled bricks in her high Vetements socks. Her energies are infectious, her rhythm kindling, with a presence that screams liberation from the boring routine.
We speak with Marie and Sharon about the shooting day, their acquaintance online, preparation to the shoot before Marie came to the city, and the challenges met as getting out of film on set but making each shot count. Sharon unveils her approach to becoming a model and the redefinition of the profession today.
