Raffaella Cortese is proud to present a second solo show by the artist Yael Bartana, internationally renowned for the video trilogy And Europe will be Stunned presented at the Polish Pavilion during the 54th Venice Biennial.

Central to Bartana’s work are meanings implied by terms like “Homeland”, “Return” and “Belonging”. Bartana investigates these through the ceremonies, public rituals and social diversions that are intended to reaffirm the collective identity of the nation state. In her earlier projects, Bartana dealt with the impact of war, military rituals and a sense of threat on everyday life.
