Artist 5

Uta Barth
Field # 9
1995

Uta Barth is known for her "blurry backgrounds created by focusing her camera on empty foregrounds" (guggenheim.org). I was immediately drawn to her work because of its abstract blurs. I enjoy these because you cant make out objects just a general shape and color. This photo appears to be headlights and what looks like either trees of telephone poles in the background. The color of this photo draws me in, or should i say, the lack of color. This photo unlike the saturated color in Hildo's photos, gives me a sense of life. Even though you can barely make anything out, there is a sense of human energy in these.
