LUMIERE is a series of photographs inspired by both the freedom of the ocean and the storming of the Bastille. The symbol of the birth of the modern French nation, Muller reinterprets the iconic, historical event as his personal uprising as an artist. About Muller's exhibition, gallery owner Guy Hepner said, "Lumiere represents further demonstration of the experimental and dynamic working methods of Michael Muller. Photography is transcended; the work represents a thought provoking juxtaposition to contemporary photography". "This year, I have had the pleasure of experiencing Independence Day in three different nations: The United States, France and Indonesia," remarked Muller on his upcoming exhibition. "For one night, people reflect on their freedom, an awakening of sorts. Their emotions are represented in my work through chosen imagery - people, fireworks and the ocean. Most of my images are blurry or distorted - the same lens through which people view their freedom throughout the year. I see life as colorful and liberated - free to express, to speak, to love. I hope my images unleash a little color in the viewer's eye, and open their soul."
