Rosa Barba

The Miami Edit is a focused series highlighting the practices and perspectives of the artists featured at this year's Art Basel Miami Beach. We look forward seeing you at our Booth J11 from 5–7 December, 2025.

The first feature in this series highlights the works by Rosa Barba.

Rosa Barba engages within the medium of film through a sculptural approach. In her works, Barba creates installations and site-specific interventions to analyze the ways film articulates space, placing the work and the viewer in a new relationship. Questions of composition, physicality of form and plasticity play an important role for the artist as Barba examines the industry of cinema and its staging vis-à-vis gesture, genre, information and documents. Her film works are situated between experimental documentary and fictional narrative. They often focus on natural landscapes and human-made interventions into the environment and explore the relationship of historical records, personal anecdotes, and filmic representation, creating spaces of memory and uncertainty.
