Rosa Barba This Space Populated by Infinite Colors, 2021

Conceived for Rosa Barba's solo exhibition at Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, This Space Populated by Infinite Colors (2021) consists of 16 hand-blown glass plates in all shades of the red color spectrum inserted flush in a wooden shelf fixed to the wall. The work highlights Rosa Barba‘s interest in astronomy, as well as her engagement within the medium of film through a sculptural approach. Indeed, these glass color filters are traditionally used for both the observation of celestial bodies and the making of films (Lee filters placed in front a camera lens).
