The Marfa Book Company will host an exhibition of new works by Marfa-based artist Daniel Chamberlin entitled \u201cEcstatic Camouflage\u201d this weekend, March 9 \u2013 11, 2012, with an opening for the artist on Friday, March 9th<\/sup> from 6 \u2013 8 pm.<\/p>\n

According to the artist, \u201cEcstatic Camouflage is an explicitly psychedelic post-landscape photography.\u201d In deed, these photographs make a break with tradition and do not call to mind the work of Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter, Robert Glenn Ketchum, or Richard Misrach, though, ostensibly, they share the same subject. The break may at first seem technical, a consequence of new technologies for manipulating images, but on further study, it becomes evident that it\u2019s something else. For Chamberlin, that word is psychedelic or shamanistic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a post-landscape photography that explodes anthropocentric notions of perspective by way of repetition and rotation, an organic visual drone. It is an attempt at revealing my communion with the so-called \u201cplant mind\u201d of shamanistic lore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several of the photographs in \u201cEcstatic Camouflage\u201d were taken locally, in the Chisos Basin, and the Davis Mountains. Viewers may not immediately recognize these places however, and not just because the artist avoids iconic, monumental treatments for his subjects. In fact, the photographs resemble mandalas or yantras rather than icons or monuments. Curiously, his technique, involving minimal post-camera manipulation, does not hide the changes he makes, but demonstrates them openly. In the kaleidoscopic image that results from his repetitions and rotations, horizon lines vanish; trees and flowers, divide or merge; water appears throughout the surface; and the sky turns inward.<\/p>\n

For his exhibition at the Marfa Book Company, Chamberlin chose ten pieces from an archive of hundreds of raw photographs taken in the Southwestern and South Central United States. The pieces selected are ink jet prints on canvas and range in size from three by four, to four by five feet in dimension.<\/p>\n

Daniel Chamberlin was born in Indiana, and lived for twelve years in Los Angeles before moving to Marfa. He was a contributing editor to Arthur Magazine. He is a nationally registered EMT and currently works for Marfa EMS.<\/p>\n
