Rosa Barba The Long Poem Manipulates Spatial Organizations, 2014
Modified projector, plinth, stencil cut, 16 mm film (color)
Dimensions variable
The Long Poem Manipulates Spatial Organizations (2014) is a 16mm film installation balancing filmic and sculptural concerns. Rosa Barba has tilted a projector at a 45-degree angle, breaking the traditional geometry of the screen. The projection is a montage of uniform fields of color—red, blue, and yellow—in which a linear succession of letters cut out directly on the celluloid compose a sort of 'visual poem,' underlining how each word consists of an organized group of signs. The letters spelled the words 'The Long Poem'.
