Nina Barnett (born 1983) is a South African artist currently living and working in New York City.[1] She attended Witwatersrand University, Johannesburg.[2]

Her work is concerned with investigating urban spaces and narratives in the form of stop motion animations, video installations, sound installations and interventions made in urban landscapes.[3] Barnett's practice addresses transition, distance, and exploration, both horizontal and vertical. Her past investigations also concern aspects of holes, mining, and depth through drawing, video, and sculpture.[4] She has lived and worked in Johannesburg, Paris, and New York, and these experiences have a continual influence on her artwork.[3] She often collaborates with Robyn Nesbitt.
