We invite you to discover the inspiring work of German photographer Bernhard Lang and his almost existential take on how we look when viewed from above. His aerial photos, revealing the vastness of nature and the solitude of humankind, simply amaze.
It is really amazing what any appropriate distance, be it emotional and physical, can do. Aren’t there times you wished that you had protected yourself from a troubled relationship? Or you perhaps you just wished you had not been so scared and took a certain risk? It would be so helpful sometimes if in our everyday life, we had the chance to see our microcosm and our relationships from a more adequate perspective, not too close up not too far either, and interact with others whilst being neither too involved nor too distant. It would certainly solve a lot of our problems, from a tiny heartbreak to great frustration.
Bernhard Lang, a talented German photographer with a versatile career to his name, is obsessed with finding this ideal distance, the perfect point where nature and humans could seem to be living together in a perfect match. His aerial views, almost unreal in their calculated formalism, amaze with the new perspective they cast on this eternal battle, both aesthetic and existential, between the natural environment and the human presence.
