Opening Reception | Exposures by Barbara Probst


This German artist presents three ­­­­contemplative works that further develop the method she uses to make her multi-part Exposures. Probst sets up multiple cameras and uses a radio-controlled shutter release in order to capture a single moment. In each of the new works, a central narrative is present but elusive and the purposeful actions in her earlier works give way to the introspection of a distracted camera.
