Lunch break by Sharon Lockhart

Another exhibit that I found very striking at the Museum of Modern art was 'Lunch break' by Sharon Lockhart. Lockhart explores the tradition of documentary photography, recently documenting the life in a new York Shipyard. The image I show here is from a slow motion film that appears like a series of photographs where Lockhart travels past a long row of workers during their lunch break. It has a hypnotising quality and the audio of the low drumming of the factory adds to the intensity. Harry my son was captivated by the installation.
