In its Greek root origin, the word crisis indicates a turning point, a decisive stage in the progress of a person's life or plot narrative, that can lead to either tragedy or opportunity. In her work, Bartana employs the creative device of pre-enactment to scrutinise contemporaneous events and enact speculative futures. Coalescing historical events with fantasy, and revisionism, pre-enactments usurp and displace dominant ideologies allowing Bartana to reflect upon mechanisms of power and corruption while creating images of possible futures.Exhibitions
