carlier ⎜gebauer gallery is pleased to announce Paul Graham’s exhibition of large-format photographs from his most recent series The Present. 

For 30 years, Paul Graham has played a crucial role in the development of photography as a medium. In the early 1980s, when photographers still used black and white film, he introduced color and revolutionized the genre of social documentary photography. By rethinking traditional genres of photography, he has created a unique visual language that breaks the traditional boundaries between documentary, portrait and landscape photography.

The show at carlier ⎜gebauer gallery in Berlin features a total of 20 colour photographs, the majority of which are diptychs of various formats. People and situations in the city where the artist lives are shown at their most ordinary in works titled for location, date and exact time.
