About the Item

Barbara Rosenthal’s Conceptual Photography is a concrete manifestation of complex inner stresses from external realities of all kinds: physical, familial, political, religious, time, space and relentless travel. Rosenthal begins by shooting surreal photographs in a kind of trance-state. She believes that the resultant images, and the Conceptual Distortions created from them, reveal elements of both her particular personality and psychological states, and reach the same in the viewers’ own. In artist’s own words: “I gave myself a camera and promised not to interfere.” During this decade of relentless exhibition and travel, Rosenthal has been shooting several hundred rolls of color and BW 35mm film with analog Olympus OM-1 equipment, often while in motion. Then, when back in her NY studio, she digitizes selected full-frame images as a basis for the final, computer-manipulated Conceptual Photography. It has always been important for her to work with her own imagery. In the last few years, Rosenthal has been giving more importance to the “negative” space surrounding these Conceptual Photographs when framed, and especially in warping the space. The 4-edged shapes seem as if accelerating toward the viewer through a vast space. Some even took the shape of comets. These can be mixed and matched in many different ways, and have the effect of a universe of dynamic imagery, propelled in space, frozen in time.
