Andréas Lang
Andréas Lang began his artistic work as a freelance photographer in Paris. Since 1995 he has been working on a non-commissioned basis, including video and documentary film. With his pictures, he traces the hidden stories of a place, be they of a historical, mythological or personal nature. He calls it ‘visual archaeology’ and creates images that reveal different layers – and are in a kind of limbo between past and present, real and imaginary. Lang has received various scholarships – most recently the working scholarship for visual arts from the Berlin Senate of Culture in 2017. His work has been shown in group and solo exhibitions worldwide, including at The Atlantic Triangle, Mercosul Biennial, Porto Alegre/Brazil (2017) and his current exhibition Broken Memories, supported by the Alumni Fund of the Tarabya Cultural Academy, is being shown at DEPO Istanbul.
Andréas Lang spent four months at the Kulturakademie Tarabya from September to December 2018 as one of the first scholarship holders to apply via the Open Call in September 2017. With an extension, he was on site from November to December 2020 and again as part of an extension in May 2023 as a scholarship holder of the Tarabya Cultural Academy.
