Müller's first photography book after moving to Los Angeles in 1995. An investigation of people and their relationship to landscape, their environment, their space: "In Angeles in Fall I observe the space and eventually discover a solitary person, disrupting the vast open space" (Müller). The remarkable color palette in Müller's photography is do to her efforts to search for "a certain type of diffused light that seems to evoke things which are beyond the visible. My mother would often call me asking why I was staying in Los Angeles for so long, and I would reply that I was waiting for the perfect light. It is rare and difficult to catch. Sometimes I would have to wait for months for the "decisive moment" of light" (Müller). Müller's photographs contain an extraordinary subtlety reminiscent of William Turner's land- and seascapes. Paired with a critical and poetic text by Rodney Sappington this book evokes vibrantly the "drama and beauty of living in Los Angeles."
