The work does set out to challenge the viewer by presenting images that look different than most of those in the history of photography. My influences don’t really come from there; I am interested in the Light and Space movement, in Brian Eno and John Cage, in Minimalism. I am interested in visual perception. I am interested in getting you to engage in looking rather than losing your attention to thoughts about what you are looking at. Seeing Is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees is the title of Robert Irwin’s (who is a big influence) biography. Long before that, it was a line in a Zen text. No words could better describe the aim of my practice. - Uta Barth
