Renowned American photographer Eve Sonneman is celebrated for her singular technique of pairing stills taken seconds apart, and presenting them side by side. In 1971, her career launched when she was included in the Young Photographers exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Since then, she has continued to explore photography with an insightful talent; always observing the tiny, delicate changes occurring in a split second.
For the last several years, Sonneman has explored a new body of work relating to the "Lightness of Youth," her idea of exalting the contemporary experience lies within the observation and preservation of gestures and small changes in social communication. This exhibition provides ample poetry for this.

EVE SONNEMAN: LA COTE D'AZUR, an intriguing exhibition including a series of thirteen diptych color photographs will be on view at the Nohra Haime Gallery from October 7 through November 7. In her most recent body of work, Sonneman turns her lens towards the South of France. As she presents the viewer with sequence shots of people engaged in leisure activities, the artist explores the notion of the landscape as witness to the passage of time.
