Current event
Overview
Yael Bartana’s acclaimed video work 'Farewell' (2024) is on view as part of 'Midnight Moment' in Times Square, New York City, through May 31, 2026.
Presented as part of the world’s largest public digital art program, Farewell screens nightly across more than 90 synchronized billboards, transforming Times Square into a collective cinematic experience.
A cinematic meditation on departure, hope, and collective transformation, Farewell imagines the final moments before humanity boards a fictional generation ship bound for distant galaxies. Through choreographed ritual and striking visual symbolism, Bartana reflects on crisis, renewal, and the possibility of beginning again.
