Uta Barth — Field #10
Uta Barth

Field #10

Uta Barth's *Field #10* is a chromogenic print mounted on panel that exemplifies her signature exploration of perception and visual attention. The work presents a deliberately shallow depth of field, rendering its subject matter—likely a softly blurred domestic or natural environment—as an atmospheric wash of light and color rather than a defined scene. Barth challenges the conventional purpose of photography by shifting focus away from subject matter and toward the act of seeing itself.
