Brad Carlile - Tempus Incognitus
Photography
Tempus Incognitus images show the day's liminal times concurrently existing. These images show rented rooms and rooms under construction that simultaneously contain moments from the past and present. The intense colors created by this time-intensive non-digital technique and the lone and cropped perspectives create an emotional tension. The interiors are locked in space with no clear sense of time.
Time and space fade in and out and planes bleed into one another, building layers that are show rooms in transition. The work is additive, time builds the image somehow simultaneously, shifting from one reality to another. They are ecstatically colorful and are borderline hallucinatory environments.
To maintain the essential ties to reality all work is done in-camera and on-film with no digital creation or digital manipulation.
