While her installations and site-specific interventions challenge and reconstitute the viewer's notions of cinema and its staging vis-a-vis gesture, genre, documents, and information, her films settle at an ambiguous point between experimental documentary and fictional narrative, thriving in a contemporary moment while hinging on fleeting memory and encroaching uncertainty. Predicated by extensive study in a variety of places, and occasionally enhanced by live performances conceived to activate her pieces, Barba's art provides an experience that brings back the audience to the bewildered, complex reality that surrounds us every day.","brand":"Hachette Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47105259897068,"sku":"9781838668853","price":90.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4e938fdc4db4b67ac6689bc3bf10c9a7.jpg?v=1765789077"},{"product_id":"jim-hodges-by-robert-hobbs-9781838660307","title":"Jim Hodges","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJim Hodges\u003c\/em\u003e is an artist who addresses issues such as memory, love, and existential struggles through a multifaceted practice that includes photography, screen printing, and sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis use of found materials like rocks and denim, coupled with the adoption of transitory shapes like spiderwebs, speaks of a personal experience that resonates on a collective level filtered through elements available in nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMysterious, beautiful, poetic, and conceptually deep, Hodges's work has the rare quality of being simultaneously thought-provoking and visually beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431384203500,"sku":"9781838660307","price":80.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781838660307.jpg?v=1774557959"},{"product_id":"dorothea-lange-words-pictures-by-sarah-hermanson-meister-9781633451049","title":"Dorothea Lange: Words + Pictures","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTowards the end of her life, Dorothea Lange (American, 1895-1965) remarked that \"all photographs—not only those that are so-called 'documentary,' and every photograph really is documentary and belongs in some place, has a place in history—can be fortified by words.\" Though Lange's career is widely heralded, this connection between words and pictures has received scant attention.
