Summary, in English
Film Installation at Group Exhibition: Museum Van Bommel Van Dam
They are caught in a constant dilemma: should they join the game played by male world leaders, or distance themselves from it completely? As the film progresses, the situation becomes more threatening and the debate more complex. ⏳ The solution at the end proves to be as logical as it is difficult to carry out.
Two Minutes to Midnight refers to Stanley Kubrick’s film Dr. Strangelove (1964). Seated in a peace room rather than a war room, it is the women who make the decisions in Bartana’s work.
➡️ It's Not A Joke can be seen until 14 September 2025. For more information, see the link in our bio or visit www.vanbommelvandam.nl/tentoonstellingen/its-not-a-joke
