Sharon Lockhart: Films

Sharon Lockhart explores the boundaries of photography and moving images. The Filmmuseum presents a selection of Sharon Lockhart's films held by Sammlung Goetz. They range from her earliest to most recent works.

The immediate experience of time is one of the central aspects in Sharon Lockhart's films. By connecting her camera to a tripod, she defines a fixed frame in which everyday actions take place. The content of her films is often related to her ethnographic interests. Many of her works, for example Teatro Amazonas, develop in close connection with her photographs.
Lockhart comes from the structural film tradition of the 1960s and 1970s. The series in the Filmmuseum conveys insights into her conceptual approach. Her most recent film NO, which records a Japanese couple working in a field in a quiet landscape, celebrates its European premiere.

Cindy Sherman

| Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster

The staging of female role models in photographic self-portraits is the predominant theme in the work of American artist Cindy Sherman. To this end, Sherman references stereotypes of collective visual memory in a media-driven world. The exhibition at the Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster highlights works from Sherman’s fashion series, created between 1983 and 1994. Thanks to her passion for costumes and masquerade, the world of fashion has been an expansive playing field for her artistic exploration.
