Originally presented as an installation, My Bubi, My Zada is Cohen's affectionate tribute to her grandparents. Cohen taped them at home in their apartment, which is filled with old photos and memorabilia. Playing off her relationship with her grandmother (Bubi) and grandfather (Zada), Cohen establishes an atmosphere of trust and intimacy. Her coaxing manner prompts her grandparents into humorous, poignant recollections of their courtship and marriage.
