- Inside the Outset: Evoking a Space of Passage, 2021, 16mm film transferred to digital and 8k film, color, sound, 31min 15sec.
Rosa Barba, based on a sculptural perspective, explores the concept of film and its industry by presenting her observations on culture and guiding the audience’s contemplation. In the work, Inside the Outset: Evoking a Space of Passage, the structure of film and its specificity as a medium is questioned. Navigating between experimental documentary and fictional narratives, the work was shot at the wreckage of Mazotos off the coast of Cyprus. Cyprus, a divided nation like South and North Korea, has a buffer zone known as the ‘Green Line’ managed by the United Nations. By showing the process of setting up an outdoor cinema in the Green Line, Rosa Barba provides an artistic perspective on the conflicting viewpoints and relationships surrounding the space.
