Bonniers Konsthall presents the first large-scale solo exhibition in Scandinavia of American artist Sharon Lockhart. The exhibition is accompanied by a screening program and public talks.

For the past two decades, Sharon Lockhart has developed a working method sensitive for capturing communities and individuals in their everyday life. Her working process involves long periods of research in a given location, where she familiarizes herself with the local community, often forging deep friendships and initiating a strong collaboration. Her meticulous fieldwork is then transformed into painterly tableaux of still and moving imagery informed by anthropological research. Lockhart´s oeuvre is characterized by turning space, time and bodily movement of the everyday into rigorously composed photographic works as well as architectural film installation. The particularities of a given moment are transformed into reflections on human existence.
