Annelies Strba's Photographic Diaries Merge Life and Art
Annelies Strba photographs her daily life, family, children, domestic scenes, and travels from her home in Zurich. The significant gap between the moment of capture and the moment of enlargement, along with the ability to present images in different formats, cropped or integrated into other series, makes it difficult to define her work as a fixed object. Instead, her practice is a way of being where life and work are intimately intertwined. Strba's approach owes much to the painting of Balthus, as she too seeks to depict the passage of time.
