Place Artist: Uta Barth

I chose to do Uta Barth, a photographer that was born in Berlin.  Most of her images have an interesting use of focus.  This one is an untitled piece and it has more focus than most of her works do.  Many of them have no foreground, very very little of one.  They create abstractions of places instead of completely spelling out the details.  They give a great feeling of memory or nostalgia to me, like trying to remember a place but never quite being able to pull all the details together in your mind.  I don't know much about the intent of these images but they really appeal to me because they take longer to understand.  I feel like you could spend hours looking at one trying to understand it.
