The practice of Charlotta Barlach includes set- and costume design, fine art and slow fashion. Into the different disciplines she brings her experimental approach to materials and a focus on moments in which past and presence meets. Unconventional choices of material, powerful combinations of colour, elemental and legible communicating visual concepts characterize her designs for stage and screen. Charlotta Barlach has a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) Degree in Theatre Design from Wimbledon School of Art, now University of the Arts London and is presently complementing her practice with theoretical studies of Art History at Uppsala University.

 

Some of her pieces can be purchased at artworks.se and at lotta.one
