Barbara Probst

Barbara Probst’s work consists exclusively of images, with 2 to 12 smaller, related images in a set.  While there is an occasional cityscape or landscape set, her work usually concentrates on young people, mostly female, in relation to an environment. The environments vary. Each set invites the viewer to compare the images within the set, which vary from a subtle difference in posing to images that are wide ranging in camera-to-subject distance, color, or point of focus. This invited comparison is at the heart of her work. As one looks from image to image, one sees more and more similarities, and more and more differences. The more one looks, the more involved in the images one becomes.
