The work of this New York-born filmmaker is fuelled by references to the great realist tradition in film, be it the propaganda documentary of the Farm Security Administration in the United States, Italian neorealism, or French cinéma vérité. Her subjects are taken from everyday life: people with modest incomes, showing their at once ordinary and dramatic lives. Salmon is particularly sensitive to interactions between the soundtrack and the image, which she uses to produce disturbing effects that heighten the documentary sobriety of her films with a lyrical dimension. She shoots all of her works, working as both Director and Cinematographer, on 16mm & 35mm film. It has been noted that she has been influenced by directors Luchino Visconti and John Ford and filmmakers Albert and David Maysles, in particular their 1968 film Salesman as well as films from Vittorio DeSica, Robert Flaherty, the playwrights Arthur Miller and Eugene O'Neill as well as writer Raymond Carver She also presented the Soviet Film I am Cuba by Director Mikhail Kalatozov at the Withe de With in Rotterdam in 2007. She won the first MaxMara Art Prize for Women in association with the Whitechapel in London in 2006. The prize jurors included Turner Prize winner Gillian Wearing, Iwona Blazwick, gallerist Victoria Miro and Frieze editor Jennifer Higgie. She has had a solo show at the Witte de With, Rotterdam and the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London in 2007 and Margaret was shown at The Venice Biennale in 2007. Margaret has also featured and been interviewed for BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour, BBC2 TV's The Culture Show, W Magazine, Frieze Magazine, Guardian Newspaper, Telegraph Newspaper, The Independent Newspaper, FT Newspaper, The Times Newspaper, Corrirere della Sera Newspaper, BBC TV London's London Tonight show, British Vogue, Fader Magazine (USA), Shattered Magazine, Evening Standard Newspaper, Style and Family Tunes (German Magazine), French TV, German TV among others and also was featured and interviewed in BBC Television documentary (by the Cinema Show) about Technicolor called 'The Wonderful World of Technicolor' in 2006.
