"I have tried to capture very marginal and ordinary aspects of the landscape, which have a strong fascination for me".

Barbara Barberis – New Landscape Photography
Posted on November 10, 2020 by Willson CummerBarbara Barberis BarbaraBarberis.it For many years I have spent my summer holidays on the Riviera dei Fiori. It is a place I know very well, and to which I have already dedicated photographic series in the past. Every time I come back here I enjoy taking...."I believe that society is too alienated. Once the lockdown period started to ease down everyone seems to have gone back to the previous ‘normal’ forgetting about all the social solidarity that was highly spoken of. We are surrounded by too many commodities which have actually helped to accommodate our needs and alleviate the burden of lockdown.
I hope that lockdown will have a long-lasting effect on our relationship to the city. There has definitely been some awareness, such as a refocus on the local, but on a wider scale I believe the road is still long, very long."
An interesting interview with Maltese artist Kristina Borg
"In Such an Alienated Society We Do Need to Slow Down"
Alternative DIY City Walks (2016-) are specific to different cities. Starting off with a series of conversations with a number of locals, the artist gains knowledge about their day-to-day experience of their city. Gleaning information from these conversations, together with on-site research-walking,La Chambre de Commerce est momentanément fermée au public en vue des nouvelles restrictions liées à la pandémie. L’exposition « Pays sages 1991 » de Bert Theis ouvrira de nouveau dès que la situation sanitaire le permettra.
Restons en contact et d’ici là, nous vous invitons à consulter les pages dédiées à Theis sur le site de la galerie (lien dans la bio) et de Bert Theis Archive.
