Bartana, Yael LU (2025)
Abstract
Film Installation at Group Exhibition: Museum Van Bommel Van Dam

They are caught in a constant dilemma: should they join the game played by male world leaders, or distance themselves from it completely?

Two Minutes to Midnight refers to Stanley Kubrick’s film Dr. Strangelove (1964). Seated in a peace room rather than a war room, it is the women who make the decisions in Bartana’s work.

➡️ It's Not A Joke can be seen until 14 September 2025. For more information, see the link in our bio or visit... (More)
