For Rosa Barba, cinema “allows time and space to vibrate, collapse, overlap, and extend.” Barba’s work often explores natural landscapes and human-made changes to the environment by delving into historical records, personal narratives, and the sensory experience of film. This installation brings together 15 years of Barba’s work, featuring film, kinetic sculpture, and sound. A newly commissioned 35mm film, Charge, forms the core of the installation and examines light as a source of ecological change and scientific innovation.

Accompanying these works is a series of live performances that will culminate in a presentation of White Museum, in which a stream of clear or “white” film will project from the Kravis Studio’s 53rd Street window onto the adjacent public plaza. White Museum transforms the exhibition space into a projection booth, the Museum into a cinematic device, and the plaza into a three-dimensional screen visible from within the building and from the street.
