Sharon Lockhart’S Photographs And Films Frame The Quiet Moments And Details Of Everyday Life While Exploring The Subtle Relationships Between Photography And Cinema. Much Of Her Photographic Work Since 1994 Has Relied On The Staging Of Scenes Characteristic Of Filmmaking, Or Has Investigated Issues Of Time, Sequence And Narrative In A Manner Reminiscent Of Conceptual Art. Lockhart’S Films Emphasize The Photographic Basis Of The Moving Image, Often Using A Fixed Perspective To Capture Unexpected Movements And Human Reactions In A Given Situation. This Catalog Documents The Largest And Most Significant Solo Exhibition Of Lockhart’S Work In An American Museum To Date, Organized By The Museum Of Contemporary Art, Chicago (Mca).
