"'12 Moments' presents Barbara PROBST's new series of diptychs from the year 2015. U
nlike her previously, primarily complex, multi-part works of art, which she photographed from a variety of perspectives simultaneously, this new, more minimalist series has been reduced to just two perspectives of the same scene in the same moment.
In contrast to her earlier works, the pictures in this series are dreamlike and uncanny. In his extensive essay, Robert Hobbs, the well-known American author, curator, and art historian, puts these new works into the context of Probst’s previous artistic development.
The photo book, '12 Moments', has been designed in close collaboration with the artist, so that the diptychs can be regarded and perceived as analogous to her visual ideas.
Its elaborate binding allows the book to stay open and the cover fabric reinforces the book’s character as an objet d’art." (publisher's note, © Hartmann Project, 2016)
