Rosa Barba is an internationally reknown artist and filmmaker, who lives and works in Berlin. She studied Film and Visual Arts at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne and at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam.

Rosa Barba is best known for her 16 mm- and 35 mm- installations and filmworks. Cinemais her language, she creates it, analyses it, researches it and dissects it separating it’s different parts: Such as words, soundtracks, images, and light - and (re)presents them, sometimes isolated from each other. Film, with its limitations as a medium, is transformed into a sculptural and textual object. There is a constant transposition, a continuous flow between being a medium and being the art object, between being content and being form.

Rosa Barba held exhibitions at Kunsthaus Zürich, Switzerland, Jeu de Paume, Paris, Tate Modern, London, Museo National Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León, Spain and CAM Contemporay Art Museum St. Louis, USA
