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":"adam-pendleton-who-is-queen-a-reader-by-lynne-tillman-9781633451100","title":"Adam Pendleton: Who Is Queen?
