AERIAL VIEWS SUMMER 2010
"Bernhard Lang’s photos are proof that, when viewed from above, we are the weirdest intruders on planet earth! The human figures in his photos seem almost unreal, like colorful playmobils with no sense of their own existence. It is almost funny to see them spend their spare time under the sun or swimming carefree in a river or swimming pool. Under this perspective or indeed microscope, Lang’s work is a reminder that whatever our life and our problems may be, a zoom out picture will always reveal that we are just small creatures, nothing more than a tiny reflection of the universe.
Lang’s stills look like paintings. This is due to the amazing color pallet of his work that intensifies the impression that nature, rather than the photographed, is painted on canvas. The green of the trees and the blue of the deep sea in his photos remind us that the universe we are part of is definitely worth living. Moreover, one cannot but admire Lang’s talent to turn a simple view into a deep sensorial experience. His aerial views are the triumph of mankind in a natural environment that both scares and amazes. Standing somewhere between the earth and the sky, his work is an act of liberation; a colorful celebration of life in its most."
APOSTOLOS MITSIOS, Yatzer, 11 NOVEMBER 2011
