Heike Baranowsky Time Traps Film, Fotografie und Video sind die Medien, mit denen Heike Baranowsky Raum und Zeit thematisiert. Wie nur wenigen zeitgenössischen Künstlerinnen gelingt es der 1966 in Augsburg geborenen Künstlerin, Analytik und Sinnlichkeit so zu verschränken, dass unsere Aufmerksamkeit gefesselt wird von den bewegten Bildern, mit denen sie uns in eine andere Zeit und an einen anderen Ort schickt. Obwohl viele Arbeiten auf den ersten Blick dokumentarisch erscheinen, widerlegen Baranowskys Filme und Videoinstallationen diesen Eindruck, indem sie auf den zweiten Blick ihre Suggestionskraft mittels technischer Manipulationen offenlegen und dabei auch grundlegende formale Bedingungen des Kinos untersuchen. Die Funktionsweisen der Kamera wie Bildausschnitt, Verlangsamung und Zoom, Schleife und Wiederholung im Loop, Spiegelung im Vorwärts- und Rückwärts-Modus oder winzige, zeitliche Versetzungen von Motiven werden selbst zur Struktur der Arbeiten. Der umfangreiche Katalog bietet mit dem kommentierten Werkverzeichnis einen umfassenden Überblick auf Heike Baranowskys Arbeiten.
