Podwórka 2009

Observes the everyday life of children in Lodz, Poland in a series of long takes.

Directed by Sharon Lockhart

‘Podwórka’ captures six groups of neighbourhood youth as they play in seemingly deserted yards, offering an intimate portrait of daily life in Łódź, Poland. Shot with a fixed camera, this single-channel video projection highlights American artist Sharon Lockhart’s concern for the interrelationship between the still and the moving image.
