Artes Mundi 4 winner Yael Bartana.
Using documentation and re-enactments, Bartana moves between playfulness and seriousness.
Born in Israel and now dividing her time between her homeland and Amsterdam, she often focuses upon Israel and the Israeli situation.

She explores the details of everyday living and its rituals while relating them to the actions of the state and the constant presence of war and insecurity.
Her works are visually and intellectually intriguing and centre upon human relationships as much as politics.
