Tim Barber New Blues
Collaborators
“New Blues” is a continuation of Tim Barber’s 2015 series, “Blues.” Developed through the traditional practice of cyanotype printing, Barber’s ethereal images capture fleeting scenes from NYC and abroad.
We first met Tim Barber inside the lobby of a hotel in Japan two years ago. He was in Tokyo hosting the opening of his solo exhibition “Blues” and invited us to come along. We’ve kept in touch ever since, and after hearing that he was continuing the series with “New Blues,” we decided to launch the project through a capsule collection of t-shirts. Browse a selection of works from his new photo series “New Blues” below.
