010615 : Meyer Rieger - Rosa Barba - Inside a Magnified Picture

Meyer Rieger Rosa Barba - Inside a Magnified Picture 01.05.2015 - 20.06.2015 Time game By Raimar Stange At the centre of the solo exhibition "Inside a Magnified Picture" by Rosa Barba in the Berliner Galerie Meyer Riegger stands her film "Time as Perspective", 2012. The film, shown for the first time in Germany, poses questions in such reduced and concentrated-redundant language about the relationship of time, space and the linguistic illusions of both. The Galerie Meyer Riegger has turned itself into a cinema, darkened and furnished with a large screen and auditorium. The film "Time as Perspective" is very convincing. Filmed from a bird's eye point of view, an enormous area in the Texan desert is to be seen on which drilling rigs carry out their work pumping rhythmically. On the one hand, the film is interrupted by close-ups of the pumps, on the other by text inserts. "When an illusion ends distance doesn't longer exist" is to be read there, or: "Redefining signs". The landscape set in the moving picture by the Italian artist has indeed been calculated into a drawing field through the interaction of text and the shots of the camera's stoical journey. So the film has been relocated into a diffuse timelessness with its slightly brown tones and the photocopied technique which looks neither modern nor antiquated here and which is permanently irritating.
