Elad Lassry: Sum of Limited Views December 30, 2010

Lassry's work exists between stillness and movement, where static photographs sustain a sense of fleeting motion. The potential for an image to become unfixed is equally relevant to the artist's practice as a filmmaker. Capturing an elegant dancer, a zebra, or an actor performing empty gestures, Lassry's short 16mm films explore the suspension of moving bodies in space. His first major museum monograph in the United States, 'Sum of Limited Views' features over thirty photographs and a selection of films, where--through layered exposures, a staccato rhythm of colors, or the abstraction of moving bodies---the works possess a magnetic but unstable hold on our vision as "unstill" still-lives.
