...And Europe Will Be Stunned. This video installation by the Israeli-born artist consists of three films: Mary Koszmary (2007), Mur i wieza (2009) and Zamach (2011).
Curator Galit Eilat
The exhibition … and Europe will be stunned was shown in the first time in Polish national pavilion at the 54th International Art Exhibition in Venice in 2011. This video installation by the Israeli-born artist Yael Bartana (Kfar Yehezkel, Israel, 1970) consists of three films: Mary Koszmary (2007, collection Van Abbemuseum), Mur i wieża (2009, collection Van Abbemuseum) and Zamach (2011).
The films revolve around the activities of the Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland (JRMiP): a political group calling for the return of Jews to the land of their forefathers. The films are overflowing with the narratives of the Israeli settlement movement, Zionist dreams, anti-Semitism, the Holocaust and the Palestinian right of return. Apart from realising the film trilogy, the artist has established the foundations of a new political movement.
The publication A Cookbook for Political Imagination accompanies the exhibition. It was made for the Venice Biennale, and is a manual of political instructions and recipes, delivered by more than 50 international authors.
