Round and Round

Chad Gerth has developed his own unique style of photography blending abstraction with representation in an engaging style. His serial photographs reveal a conceptual bent, treating themes of technology, commerce and popular culture. His time-lapse images of LP records playing (Phono, 2000) emit no sound, yet a viewer may unconsciously remember or imagine the song depicted. As time and movement are recorded on photographic film, colours and shapes change, sound is lost, movement becomes stillness and miniscule grooves become patterns.
