YAEL BARTANA  b. Israel 1970

By manipulating form, sound and movement, I create work to trigger
personal resonance as I seek to answer the question "What is this
place where I grew up?" Through personal, intimate reactions, I aim
to provoke honest responses to replace the predictable, controlled
reactions encouraged by the state.
