A text-image meditation on landscape and observation by two American
filmmakers
American artists James Benning (born 1942) and Sharon Lockhart (born
1964) often cite each other's films as an influence on their own work,
investigating the structure of film itself and rethinking the use of
duration and sound. Both artists' work illustrates the importance of
close observation and the evolving urban landscape.
Over Time pairs works from both Benning and Lockhart with a
collaborative, almost stream-of-consciousness text.
The result is a profound conversation between two accomplished artists
that highlights how slow reflection can deepen and enrich everyday
experience.
