A quiet observation of light, space, and the art of nothingness.

In Tasmania’s southern edge, MONA continues to reshape how we view art. Not as spectacle, but as experience. On this visit, Barbitta captured a take of Zero, a rare exhibition tracing the radical post-war movement born in Europe, now assembled in Australia for the first time.

Rather than produce a polished artefact, the film was approached as a visual journal. A study in restraint. Shot handheld on an iPhone, with no stabilisers, no lighting, and no filters, it reflects the work itself: raw, immediate, and honest in form.

The exhibition moves through a series of chambers, each focused on vibration, of light, of space, of perception. Barbitta responded by capturing detail in fragments. Cropped compositions. Shifts in shadow. The passing of visitors through glowing thresholds. Not a story told, but a moment held.

Guided by the Atmosphere, Form, and Meaning tiles of the Barbitta Mosaic™, the result is not a tour but a trace, a document of how it feels to be moved, slowly, through presence.

As the founders of Zero once wrote: Zero is silence. Zero is the beginning. Zero is round. Zero spins. Zero is the moon. —Heinz Mack, Otto Piene and Günther Uecker
