Description
Sala Rekalde presents Pine Flat, the first solo exhibition of work by Sharon Lockhart in Spain. This is the most recent piece by this renowned American photographer and filmmaker and is the outcome of three years of intense work.
Pine Flat is a small rural community in the north of the state of California. Yet what matters most to the artist is the fact that it could be anywhere, any other rural context in similar circumstances. Lockhart has focused her lens on the landscape of this place and its inhabitants, in particular the children. Her almost painterly images, which are highly descriptive, elude any attempt at narration, the emphasis being on the pleasure of the gaze and the notion of temporality in her work.
