Flâneuse [flanne-euhze], noun, from the French.
Feminine form of flâneur [flanne- euhr], an idler,
a dawdling observer, usually found in cities.
Her artistic work takes an interdisciplinary approach, using performance, video and installation. Through them she covers subjects such as feminisms, personal relationships and everything susceptible to remaining on the periphery.
Barbara is interested in the political dimension of the personal, the vulnerable and the power of narrative, whatever its form is; this is why her the practice is deeply bound to writing, cinema and poetry.
