"Common Objects" revisits Lewis Baltz's most remarkable series from "The Prototype Works" (1967-1976) to "Ronde de Nuit" (1992-1995), and interrogates for the first time the influence of European cinema (Antonioni, Godard, Hitchcock) on his work. Baltz's seminal series "The Prototype Works, The Tract Houses" (1969-1971), "Candlestick Point" (1987-1989), "Sites of Technology" (1989-1991) and "Ronde de Nuit" are presented in dialogue with stills from several films: Alfred Hitchcock's "Saboteur" and "Psycho," Michelangelo Antonioni's "Zabriskie Point, La Notte" and "Red Desert" and Jean-Luc Godard's "Les Carabiniers.".
