Clarissa Bonet | Chasing Light

Clarissa Bonet uses urban spaces as a dynamic backdrops for the subtle, often overlooked dramas of daily life in the city. Bonet studies the shape and behavior of sunlight and shadow, and then carefully constructs street scenes that are suspended in time, briefly illuminating the psychological space that runs under the daily routines.

Bonet’s photographs have been exhibited at the Aperture Foundation and the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery, and are held in numerous museum collections. The exhibition at Pictura brings together three related series by the artist, City Space, Stray Light, and From Shadow to Sun, each one a distinct expression of her finely-tuned urban light stalking.
