Yael Bartana - Isreali/Polish Video Artist


Quoted from Roberta Smith: The entire effect is exceedingly complex, with just the right mixture of staginess, uplifting music and 21st-century details to keep the artifice before us while delving into numerous issues including the failed utopia of Israel, the unresolved trauma of World War II, the danger of nationalism and, above all, the importance of diversity. With words as resonant now as ever, the young leader says, “With one religion, we cannot listen.” [ 2012]
