Description: The photographs of the series La Lunga Strada by Monika Barth take the viewer on a journey through different frames of mind between faith, love, hope and death. The concrete locations of her photographs in Italy, Ukraine, Norway, and Costa Rica merge in the flow of images to form an existential space filled with religious, cultural and political contexts. With her photographic diary of journeys between 2018 and 2020, she creates a radically subjective document of our contemporary globalised world, in which she abandons any objectifying distance. She is driven by a great empathy for people, and it is her special ability to create a closeness in the foreign. The virtuoso balancing act between document and invention, between realism and magic is what makes the book La Lunga Strada so special.00Exhibition: ENFANTS Artspace, Hamburg, Germany (09.10. - 25.10.2020).
