Interview with Ted Barr

Your work beautifully merges celestial imagery with human biology, particularly inspired by Lennart Nilsson's photography. Could you elaborate on how this fusion shapes your artistic narrative?

I would say that first it shaped my believes and way of life, the artistic narratives emerged later. It has to do with a phrase I use often in my writings, I call it the separation illusion , meaning that we are accustomed to see the world as accumulation of separate entities. Viewing the celestial elements brings in mind that we are part of a much greater reality, our body is built out of trillions cells, the universe is created out of trillions galaxies, each cell has a nucleus and is composed out of myriad molecules and atoms, each galaxy is composed out of stars as our Sun and planets.
