Exhibition Details

For Rosa Barba, cinema “allows time and space to vibrate, collapse, overlap, and extend.”

Barba’s conceptual explorations of film probe historical records, personal narratives, and the sensory experience of celluloid, often by documenting natural landscapes and human-made changes to the environment.

Additional Details

Accompanying these works is a series of performances conceived by Barba as an “exploded poem.”

In each event, the sonic frequencies of percussionist Chad Taylor, vocalist Alicia Hall Moran, and artist Rosa Barba will activate a symphony of images throughout the installation.
