Monika Barth - La Lunga Strada

Kehrer Verlag 2020

The photographs in Monika Barth's La Lunga Strada series take the viewer on a journey into states of mind between faith, love, hope, and death. The specific locations of her photographs in Italy, Ukraine, Norway, and Costa Rica merge in the flow of images into an existentialist space filled with religious, cultural, and political contexts. With her photographic diary of travels between 2018 and 2020, she creates a radically subjective document of our contemporary globalized world, abandoning any objectifying distance. She is driven by a great empathy for people and has a special ability to create closeness in the unknown. The virtuoso balancing act between document and invention, between realism and magic, constitutes the special appeal of the book La Lunga Strada . (Wolfgang Zurborn)
