shhhh.
love how uta barth's deceptively simple, gorgeous photographs make me want to be very still and very quiet. from a past exhibition at the henry art gallery in seattle: barth has used photography exclusively in her aesthetic projects, experimenting with depth of field, focus and framing to create photographs that are suggestive rather than descriptive, alluding to places rather than describing them explicitly. her interiors and landscapes engage the viewer in an almost subliminal way, testing memory, intellect and habitual responses. narrative subject matter is replaced with visual incident; the ambiguity of the pictures stimulates a profound self-consciousness of the act of looking. never entirely abstract, landscapes and interiors are made visually ambiguous to spur profound examination of the particular ways we come to expect pictures to affect us.
