De Santos Gallery Opening & Houston Chronicle Article
Jun 12th, 2010 by Brad
This past weekend was the opening of my show at the De Santos Gallery in Houston. Gemma and Luis de Santos hosted a vernissage dinner one night and a public opening the next night. Both were well attended.
During the opening weekend, Douglas Britt of the Houston Chronicle interviewed me about “Tempus Incognitus.” On June 9th, the Houston Chronicle published the interview in their print edition, “Photographer Brad Carlile sheds new light on hotel rooms.” the online version can be seen here.
The press release for the show is also online here.

When asked to describe this new body of work, I often say, “Think Edward Hopper interiors awash in James Turrell colors with David Lynch directing.
“Tempus Incognitus” records the day’s transitional times and shows them existing concurrently. The Cubists painted individual scenes from several different perspectives at once. In this series, I photograph individual rooms at several different times of day from a single perspective during the course of 1-3 days.
In the coming posts I’ll write more about my thoughts on the physical, psychological, and emotional detachment of hotel rooms and other ponderings on this work.
