Using multiple cameras placed in different locations, and with exposures simultaneously triggered by a radio-controlled release, the work of Barbara Probst tells the story of a frozen instant.
“Barbara Probst embroils us in different possible interpretations; particularly by apparently focusing on a specific moment in time in the various series, she directs our attention to the time before or after, diverting it away from the meaning of this empictured moment and to the construction of a duration that actually creates the meaning of the action or scene, i.e. that does not give us anything to see but something to think about.” Reinhard Braun
