Radiant Exposures : Facts Run on Light Beams These Days

Barba, Rosa LU (2024)
Abstract
In the Vault, CvsD is thrilled to present Radiant Exposures—Facts Run on Light Beams These Days, which returns to Italian-born, Berlin-based artist Rosa Barba's longstanding motifs of the desert and exploration of modern archives as manifestation of human desire for progress.

The central image of the film is the human-made landscape with large expanses of rectangular panels reflecting the sunlight. These reflective panels concentrate sunlight, creating and collecting energy; the presence of the sun is made palpable by the shimmering light and the blurring of the imagery. Taking as its subtitle a quote from Donna Haraway, the film appears to represent a place outside of time and space – ethereal, timeless, unearthly. A threshold between creation and destruction where everything exists. The film's text combines fragments from a poem by Robert Creely (1926-2005) and lyrics by the musician and poet Sun Ra (1914-1993). (Less)
