Bartana’s new neon work, CRISIS – CRYSIS – CRYCIS, is a playful demonstration of imaginary and alternative etymological origins to a term that has become a banal cliché in recent times. Phonetically dismantling the term, she alludes to the original Greek meaning of the word, krisis, which mean a turning point that could lead to both a catastrophe and an opportunity. Doing so, the work touches upon notions of foreignness, calling for solidarity within marginalised communities and demanding a reevaluation of patriarchal values.
