Barbara Probst: Subjective Evidence
Barbara Probst is a German photographer living between Munich and New York. In 2000, she began taking multiple images of actors in a single scene, shot simultaneously with several cameras via a radio-controlled system. The resulting series convey a complex, playful, and darkly cinematic vision of people in time and space.
Probst’s works span photographic genres: landscape, still life, fashion, portraiture, and street photography. Her multi-perspective approach results in quasi-three-dimensional views of her subjects while activating philosophical problems around the question of optical authority: what is visual truth when multiple perspectives are in play? Does more visual data result in greater realism, or less?
Subjective Evidence is the first American survey of Probst’s 25-year career. The exhibition opened first at the Kunstmuseum Luzern, in Lucerne, Switzerland, and will travel to the Sprengel Museum in Hannover in December 2024. A full-color catalogue, published by Hartmann Books, accompanies the exhibition and includes essays by the three institutional curators, Fanni Fetzer, Kevin Moore, and Stefan Gronert.
