About this Item

Neuware -(Please scroll down for English text)Mit der zwölfteiligen exposure #1 aus dem Jahr 2000, für die sie sich selbst, laufend auf einem Dach in Manhattan aus zwölf Perspektiven gleichzeitig fotografierte, begann Barbara Probst ein bis heute andauerndes fotokünstterisches Langzeitprojekt. Die aktuell letzte, dreiteilige exposure #189 beschäftigt sich mit .menschlichen Körpern in skulpturaler Anmutung. Dazwischen hat Sie zahllose bildnerische Themen abgehandelt, wie z.B. Stillleben, Straßen- Akt-, Mode- Interior- Porträtfotografie. In einer sich ständig verändernden, diversifizierenden und gleichzeitig beschleunigenden multimedialen Welt, in der der Ruf nach Medienkompetenz immer lauter wird, schärfen ihre Bilder und Serien das Bewusstein der Betrachter dafür, das es viele Perspektiven, Realitäten und Sichtweisen gibt - so gesehen könnten sie zeitgenössischer und zeitrelevanter kaum sein. Fragen um die Aktualität und Wirkung der von ihren Bildern behandelten Themen werden in dieser Publikation von den drei AutorInnen besprochen. Das Buch erscheint zu einer großen Retrospektive (Luzern, Hannover, Cincinnati) und enthält auch erstmals ein Werkverzeichnis aller bisher produzierten 189 exposures sowie auch einen Überblick über die Arbeiten der letzten Jahre und Installationsansichten ihrer wichtigsten Ausstellungen der Vergangenheit.English text descriptionWith the twelve-part exposure #1 from 2000, for which she photographed herself running on a rooftop in Manhattan from twelve perspectives simultaneously, Barbara Probst began a long-term photo-artistic project that continues to this day.

In between, she has worked with diverse photographic themes, such as still life, street, nude, fashion, interior and portrait photography. In a constantly changing, accelerating, diversifying multimedial world, in which the call for media competence is becoming ever louder, her pictures and series sharpen the viewer's awareness that there are many perspectives, realities and points of view - in this respect they could hardly be more contemporary and relevant.The three authors of the publication discuss the topicality and impact of the themes addressed by her pictures.

About this title

Synopsis

With the twelve-part exposure #1 from 2000, for which she photographed herself running on a rooftop in Manhattan from twelve perspectives simultaneously, Barbara Probst began a long-term photo-artistic project that continues to this day. The latest two-part exposure #189 is an experiment with a completely unstaged situation in public space. In between, she has worked with diverse photographic themes, such as still life, street, nude, fashion, interior and portrait photography. In a constantly changing, accelerating, diversifying multimedial world, in which the call for media competence is becoming ever louder, her pictures and series sharpen the viewer's awareness that there are many perspectives, realities and points of view - in this respect they could hardly be more contemporary and relevant.The three authors of the publication discuss the topicality and impact of the themes addressed by her pictures. The book is published to accompany a major retrospective (Lucerne, Hanover, Cincinnati) and contains, for the first time, a catalog raisonné of all 189 exposures produced to date, as well as an overview of the works of recent years and installation views of her most important past exhibitions.

About the Author

Barbara Probst (born 1964) is a contemporary artist whose photographic work consists of multiple images of a single scene, shot simultaneously with several cameras via a radio-controlled system. Using a mix of color and black-and-white film, she poses her subjects, positioning each lens at a different angle, and then triggers the cameras' shutters all at once, creating tableaux of two or more individually framed images. Although the pictures are of the same subject and are taken at the same instant, they provide a range of perspectives. She lives and works in New York and Munich.
