{"product_id":"9783960701552","title":"Through The Looking Glass","description":"\u003cp\u003eLooking into a mirror off ers far more than just a laterally\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ereversed view of reality. At least since Alice embarked on\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eher famous journey through the looking-glass, it has been\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eclear: what takes place here is a comprehensive, radically\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003equestioning shift in perspective. Barbara Probst’s new works\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eengage in this very journey. Created between 2025 and\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2026 in the artist’s studio, they integrate autobiographical\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ereferences – specifi cally, sculptural and photographic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eworks from the early 1990s. It was during this period that\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProbst, coming from a background in sculpture, fi rst began\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eto engage with photography. Model-like arrangements of\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ecoloured cubes (recreated in retrospect of that time), early\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ephotographic images and sculptures by her father, who was\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ehimself a sculptor, form the stage for these new ‘Exposures’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAesthetically and highly precisely composed, they resemble a\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003escientifi c experimental setup. They are experiments in seeing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn every image, the artist herself is part of the staging. The\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003etwelve pairs of images consist mostly of one colour and one\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eblack-and-white photograph each. They eff ortlessly plumb the\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eboundaries of what can be visually decoded and hold a mirror\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eup to us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe works are accompanied by a text by British author\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eand curator David Campany, who explores the world of these\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003epieces against the backdrop of Probst’s oeuvre to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"UNICORN PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67729397809204,"sku":"9783960701552","price":89.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/woodslane.com.au\/products\/9783960701552","provider":"Woodslane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
