Hart's reflection on the collapse of Modernist utopias emerges from the current crises in  America - Covid, Black Lives Matter, the shift to the right.

In her series The Ruins, she transforms still lifes by Matisse into fluid animations, and  creates a three-channel video installation navigating through a 3D game world filled with  deliberately primitive polygon models of canonical works by Picasso, Matisse and  Morandi, while Edmund Campion's audio mixes with Hart's readings of failed utopian  manifestos, to create an experiential nightmare of cultural collapse.
In the Illuminations series of works, Hart interweaves art history with autobiographical  sequences. Me as I Once Was (Not an Angel) and Memory Theater 02 both reference  her time in Berlin in the 1990s, as an experimental time travel between different egos. Both are part of the Illuminations series.
