Yael Bartana’s Freedom Border depicts the launching and flight of a small blimp, with cameras installed on its underside, which monitors the nation’s borders. The buoyancy of the blimp seems at odds with its ominous function—indeed, as it turns it momentarily resembles a bomb. The flight of the blimp is not staged by the artist but is instead an ongoing military operation that attests to the ever-present threat of armed conflict in Israel.
