Label Text:
Baumgartner is known for transforming photographs and stills from videos and films into painstakingly executed images of transient moments. In Pfad, through grid-layered carved lines, she shifts an undistinguished landscape into a lived experience of time “in between.” The silhouetted pathway through a field centered in the frame guides the viewer’s eye toward a horizon line. Long, fine horizontal slits of the artist’s carving knife interrupt the vertical progression, creating a blurred vista, as if seen through the window of a moving vehicle. The image is bound by the frame, but the viewer senses the perceived movement.
