Born in 1992 in Cardiff, Wales, he is a filmmaker, artist, and film theorist whose work lies at the intersection of slow cinema, visual poetry, and sound. He studied film and experimental art at the University of Wales and Cardiff Metropolitan University. His films explore darkness, nature, the Anthropocene, and the phenomenology of perception.

Barley’s films have been screened at festivals and museums worldwide, creating a distinctive space between cinema, meditation, and lyrical essay.
