Rosa Barba: Printed Cinema

In her works, Rosa Barba deals with the intersections between music video, experimental film and installation. Rosa Barba will present "Printed Cinema", a series of print publications, as well as the installation „It’s gonna happen“ (2005).

Rosa Barba studied in Erlangen and at the Kunsthochschule fuer Medien, Cologne.
