Yael Bartana is considered a video artist with her own way of expression. In her art she combines documentary aspects with poetic alienation. Her films often address the social rituals of everyday life in Israel, which is characterized by states of emergency and the danger of war.

Between 2006 and 2011, Bartana worked in Poland and created the trilogy And Europe Will Be Stunned, which examines 19th and 20th century Europe as the historical homeland of the Ashkenazi Jewish population and the history of Polish-Jewish relations and their influence on contemporary shows Polish identity from a critical perspective. The trilogy consists of three videos: Mary Koszmary (nightmares) , Mur i wieza (wall and tower) and Zamach (assassination) . The trilogy was shown in its entirety at the 54th Biennale di Venezia in 2011 in the Polish national pavilion at the Arsenale , where Bartana was the first non-Polish citizen to exhibit her work.
