Artist Talk and Conversation with Yael Bartana

Yael Bartana is an observer of the contemporary and a pre-enactor. She employs art as a scalpel inside the mechanisms of power structures and navigates the fine and crackled line between the sociological and the imagination. In her films, installations, photographs, staged performances, and public monuments she investigates subjects like national identity, trauma, and displacement, often through ceremonies, memorials, public rituals, and collective gatherings.

Her work has been exhibited worldwide, including solo exhibitions at GL Strand Copenhagen (2024), Jewish Museum Berlin (2021), Fondazione Modena Arti Visive (2019/2020), and Philadelphia Museum of Art (2018). In 2024, her work was shown in the German Pavilion of the Venice Biennial.

The event with Yael Bartana is organized as part of the course 'Wannsee: Laboratory for the Future', led by Dr. Avi Feldman. Bartana's research and work in Wannsee will be discussed during the event in collaboration with the course students.
