“herbstzeitlos” brings together photographs in which seemingly trivial details come into focus. Things we would normally walk right past suddenly take on a life of their own through framing, proximity, and light. Reduced to black and white, they lose their clear classification—what we see is no longer immediately obvious.

Herbstzeitlos
Shapes shift, become open: a surface may resemble skin, a shadow a figure, without resulting in a fixed image. It is precisely this indeterminacy that makes the works so compelling. They capture moments when perception momentarily falters—and something other than the obvious reveals itself.
The photographs repeatedly revolve around transience and these brief moments of pause, in which time seems to slow down.
Saskia Barth lives in Potsdam and has been working intensively in photography for several years. She studied at the Ostkreuzschule in Berlin under Rudi Meisel and Sven Marquardt, among others, and is currently part of the class taught by Ute Mahler and Werner Mahler.
Her work focuses on what is not immediately visible: fragility, individuality, and subtle forms of beauty. Since 2021, she has been regularly exhibiting her photographs. Originally from southern Germany, she studied law in Munich and, in addition to her artistic practice, works as a lawyer and mediator.
