Yael Bartana's trilogy And Europe Will Be Stunned, of which the Artangel co-commission Zamach (Assassination) is the final part, revolves around the activities of the Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland (JRMiP), a political group that calls for the return of 3,300,000 Jews to the land of their forefathers. In a conversation with curators Galit Eilat and Charles Esche, Bartana suggested the project be read as "a possibility for some movement, a new shift in life. An event in history. Something else that could happen. Just an idea. Just a fictional idea. The Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland has a manifesto. You don't have to be a Jew. If you want to join, you can: it's a proposal, a new movement."
