In keeping with her signature operating methods, Uta Barth takes a simple observation — the tenuous light filtering through a curtain — and turns it into a complex perceptual experience. The artist modifies everyday domestic spaces in ways that are nearly imperceptible, transforming them with her camera into fertile ground for exploring subtle changes of light and atmosphere.
Barth is represented by gallery Andréhn-Schiptjenko in Stockholm and Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in the US where she had a solo show in 2017.
She is represented in several museum collections among them are Baltimore Museum of Art in Baltimore, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and
Miami Art Museum. In Sweden her work is included in the collections of Magasin III Konsthall and Moderna Museet in Stockholm.
