“The camera sort of teaches you to see in a really different way and to experience your environment in a different way, and to pay attention to the act of looking.“—Uta Barth.
The new exhibition “Uta Barth: Peripheral Vision” traces Barth’s career from her early experimentations while a student to later studies that probe the eye’s capacity and the camera’s role in translating visual information into a photograph.
Organized chronologically, with sections dedicated to her most prominent series, the exhibition presents the first overview of the artist’s career in over 20 years. Barth’s most recent work is displayed here for the first time: a project commissioned in celebration of the Getty Center’s twentieth anniversary.
“Uta Barth: Peripheral Vision” is on view through February 19, 2023, at the Getty Center.
