Sharon Lockhart: Films

May 22, 2003

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.

Ilinca Fechete. Memory Magnified by Memory of Course

September 5 – September 18, 2026 | AkademieGalerie

“I imagine a situation in which several people are standing together, and I am one of them. One person at a time is subjected to an electrical shock although their identity is concealed, as the electrical connection remains out of sight. All I can do is observe the facial expressions and reactions of the others to identify who has been shocked,” explains the artist Ilinca Fechete. Her new work made possible by the 2026 Media Art Award awarded by the Ingvild and Stephan Goetz Art Foundation in collaboration with the Sammlung Goetz and the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, consists of an ultrasound sound system and a visual program for a film.

Jeff Wall

November 17, 2026 – February 20, 2027 | Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster

Canadian artist Jeff Wall is one of the most influential photographers of our time. In his elaborately staged pictorial compositions, he combines the narrative of cinema with painting. Wall became known for his large-format lightbox images, which are formally more reminiscent of the world of advertising than that of fine art. With this technique, he revolutionized the medium of photography, elevating it to the height of painting and sculpture. The exhibition at the Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster presents a selection of his iconic lightbox images from the 1990s.
