“Semi”, a new series of photographs, expands on the artist’s on-going exploration of the subject of the American open road through a decidedly expressive lens. Falliers redirects the traditional view of the endless highway into a visual experience that is more immediate – contrasting abstraction with representational imagery; movement with stillness. Riding on the edge of photography and painting, the artist uses her considerable technical skill and imagination to create a series that covers territory that is both dynamic and contemplative. Robischon Gallery, September 2011

The final solo at Robischon is the smart-looking Danae Falliers: Semi, part of the Denver photographer's series on interstate highways. Falliers is obviously taking photos from a moving car, because even in the pair of photos of a stationary object — a highway flyover — the digital prints are blurry. Most of the pieces here depict semis racing by, and the images convey the rapid movement of the trucks. To do this, Falliers has taken long exposures so that the trucks are reduced to horizontally oriented smears that appear to be abstracts until you look closely. They represent an updated futurism in which dynamic qualities such as the speeding truck have been reduced to a static image. They're great. Westword - Michael Paglia, October , 2011 |
