Liane Lang
Liane Lang graduated from the Royal Academy Schools in 2006. She has had solo shows with Flora Fairbairn Projects, T1+2, Kunstverein Heidelberg, Offspace and Southfirst Art, and is included in the Royal Academy Collection, White Cube Gallery, Ernst & Young Collection, Arts Council Of England Collection and Saatchi Collection amongst many others. Lang uses found objects and fabricated latex bodies to construct scenarios that exist between narrative fiction and still-life composition, the observation of a figure as both form and active agent. Her medium of photography allows this merging of materials and surfaces, this deception of the viewer. Thus the image retains both possibilities; the erotic and emotive narrative, and the formal arrangement of inanimate objects.

‘Spectres’ was produced following an invitation from the Plaster Cast Museum at the University of Heidelberg. Taken during the night, these near-monochromatic images of fragmented bodies combine contemporary latex forms with classical plaster casts. Lang captures the ghostly presence of these perfectly white sculptures with a perceptive sensuality, allowing the antique figures to be re-investigated as present-day objects.
