About the Item

2006 Signed and numbered in ink, verso Chromogenic print (Edition of 100) 8 x 10 inches (20.3 x 25.4 cm) Uta Barth's A sketch for KZC presents a diptych of two subtly contrasting yet connected images, both featuring a minimalistic window sill setting. The left image shows two small vases, each holding delicate stems of flowers, situated on a light-colored surface, possibly cream or beige, beneath a softly diffused white light. In contrast, the right image, bathed in a deep, warm orange hue, mirrors the composition but offers a different atmosphere. The flowers are more abstract, with one single bloom captured, while the entire frame is saturated, perhaps by a colored filter, transforming the same elements into an entirely different visual and emotional experience. Barth's work often explores the perception of space, light, and the passage of time, and A sketch for KZC is no exception. This piece plays with dualities — natural versus manipulated light, reality versus abstraction. By positioning the two images side by side, Barth invites the viewer to engage with how subtle changes in light and color drastically alter the mood and perception of the same scene. The shift from the cool, natural tone on the left to the saturated warmth on the right reflects Barth's interest in how we internalize and reinterpret visual environments based on external conditions. The work feels intimate and introspective, using stillness and simplicity to examine how atmosphere affects our understanding of familiar spaces. Barth's use of minimal elements — flowers, a window sill, and light — becomes a profound meditation on the act of seeing. The viewer is encouraged to slow down, to observe nuances of light, shadow, and reflection, while also contemplating the emotional resonance brought about by color. By transforming the ordinary into something mysterious and evocative, Barth pushes us to reconsider the boundaries of perception in photography.
