Breathtaking in their totality and vibrant colors, Brad Carlile's
series "Day Amalgam" explores the realities of impermanence in light,
color and the passage of time. In normal still photographs any
change is rendered as a blur and detail is lost. This series
captures that detail. Stationary objects are captured in their
natural color, while active elements become vivid colors.

Cubist's paintings show a single landscape from different perspectives
at the same time. Carlile shows a single perspective at different
times.

All work is done in camera without digital creation or manipulation.
Creating images in camera on film allows Carlile to capture the energy
of change while maintaining a grounding in reality.

On a conceptual level, Carlile's work deals with the conflict between
our perception of permanence and the reality of impermanence. This
series creates another way of thinking about our evolving experience
of place. It also questions the seeming rigidity of our perceptions.

Galerie Maurer will show 18 of Brad Carlile's 30"x40" images in
the gallery located in downtown Munich. The images are printed
large-scale to enhance the impact of the colors. In addition,
the interactions between colors draw one into an intimate distance
to explore, impacting the viewer both from across the room, as well
as under very close inspection.
