Barbara Probst
Barbara Probst is a contemporary German photographer known for her unique approach to capturing images. Her work explores the relationship between the photographer, the subject, and the viewer, often using multiple cameras to capture a single moment from different perspectives. Probst's photographs challenge traditional notions of photography by breaking down the boundaries between the photographer and the subject, the still image and the moving image, and the real and the imagined. Probst's work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and the Art Institute of Chicago. Her series Exposures, which began in 1998 and is ongoing, uses multiple cameras to capture a single moment from different perspectives, creating a fragmented and multifaceted image. Her series Mutualities, which ran from 2001 to 2011, explores the exploration of shared spaces through the use of multiple cameras. Probst's work challenges the viewer to question their own perception of reality and their relationship to the world around them. By using multiple cameras to capture a single moment, Probst highlights the subjectivity of photography and the limitations of a single perspective. Her work encourages the viewer to engage with the image in a more active way, moving beyond the passive act of looking and into the realm of interpretation and imagination. In addition to her photography, Probst has also worked as a teacher and mentor, sharing her unique approach to photography with a new generation of artists. She currently lives and works in New York City.
