Seminal Works by Eve Sonneman on View at Nohra Haime Gallery in New York

NEW YORK, NY.- Eve Sonneman: Sight/Sound, an exhibition comprised of 7 color photographs is on view at the Nohra Haime Gallery from December 8th through January 29th. These seminal works, previously exhibited in Starburst: Color Photography in America 1970-1980, mark the artist’s transition from black and white to color photography.Known for pairing stills taken seconds apart, Sonneman creates unified visual narratives that expose the minute, yet captivating, moments in time. Taking part in the controversial move to color photography in the mid-1970’s, Sonneman shifted from black and white diptychs of daily social life to a more cinematic approach in her work. She began describing the colorful reality of life in her diptychs with shorter time spans between stills, much like the jump cut in film editing.
