BARBARA DAVI - TRAIN OF THOUGHT

Swiss artist Barbara Davi, born 1971, primarily works with the medias of installation and photo-collage. Following her artistic education at Zurich s School of Art and Design (today Zurich University of the Arts ZHdK) and Lucerne School of Art, Davi has developed her original style, working in three-dimensional space as well as on two-dimensional surfaces, using architectural and geometric shapes and elements. Using wooden slats or a table, lines or a circular shape, light beams or a shadow, Davi creates quasi-drawings in space and photo-collages of a magical, almost three-dimensional depth. Her motifs emerge from a sequence of deliberations, from her train of thought . This first monograph on Barbara Davi features her striking work from the past ten years. Around 100 plates in colour and black and white are complemented by essays on Davi s way of working in her preferred media. Text in English and German.
