The first comprehensive monograph on the visual artist and filmmaker Rosa Barba, one of the most recognized artists today. Rosa Barba is an artist based in Berlin, and her work offers a critical deconstruction of cinema and sculpture and how the two relate to each other.
Her installations and site-specific interventions challenge and reconfigure viewers' perceptions of cinema and its theatrical presence through gestures, genre, documentation, and information. Her films occupy a blurry space between experimental documentary and fiction, flourishing in contemporary moments while relying on ephemeral memories and uncertainty.
Barba's art, based on extensive research across various sites and occasionally enhanced by live performances designed to activate her pieces, offers an experience that brings audiences back to the often confusing, complex reality that surrounds us daily.
Extensively illustrated with over 150 photographs, this first monograph of the innovative artist includes essays and texts by prominent figures in the art world, an insightful new interview with Barba, studio photos, and more.
