Lang’s images free us from
the bonds of gravity and
allow us to take a more
detached look at the world
and our effect on it — both
good and bad.
Lang’s images free us from the bonds of gravity
and allow us to take a more detached look at
the world and our effect on it – both good and
bad. It is this duality that the photographer is
most interested in investigating: the strange
balance between beauty and destruction, and
the ongoing struggle for symbiosis between
humankind and the Earth we inhabit. Karya-karya foto Lang membebaskan kita dari
ikatan gravitasi dan memungkinkan kita untuk
melihat dunia lebih jauh dan dampak baik
maupun buruk yang kita berikan kepada bumi.
Dualitas inilah yang paling menarik bagi Lang;
keseimbangan yang ganjil antara keindahan dan
kerusakan, serta usaha simbiosis berkelanjutan
antara manusia dan bumi yang kita huni.
By using a medium-format camera to
produce high-resolution, large-scale
photographs, Lang’s images are markedly
different from those produced by consumer
drones. His work has been shown in several
exhibitions worldwide, and his exclusive,
limited fine art prints are held in corporate
and private collections. Dengan menggunakan kamera berformat
medium untuk menghasilkan foto-foto
beresolusi tinggi dan berskala besar, karya-
karya foto Lang sangat berbeda dari yang
diproduksi oleh consumer drone. Hasil karyanya
telah dipertunjukkan di berbagai pameran di
seluruh dunia dan karya-karya seni cetak
eksklusifnya yang terbatas disimpan untuk
koleksi korporasi dan pribadi.
Carrara, Italy
Above the city of Carrara in the Apuan Alps are the Carrara
marble mines, where the famous creamy white stone has been
extracted since Roman times. Working in the quarries has been
dangerous, and continues to be to this day. For me, this series
of bright images has a sublime charisma, the same as
the white and creamy marble itself.
Di atas Kota Carrara di Pegunungan Alpen Apuan terdapat
pertambangan marmer Carrara, di mana batu putih krem yang
terkenal telah diekstrak sejak zaman Romawi. Bekerja di pertambangan
adalah hal yang berbahaya, dan hal tersebut berlanjut hingga hari
ini. Bagi saya, rangkaian gambar cerah ini memiliki karisma luhur,
sama seperti marmer putih dan krem itu sendiri.
