In my work I reveal the different layers of history, mythology and the present, to create a narrative image. A form of visual archeology, at times blending or colliding with immanent social, political and ecological realities. In this way the picture also becomes a place for the imaginary and projection. It appears like a stage or filmset, pending in limbo somewhere between reality and imagination, past and present.
在我的作品中，我揭示了历史、神话与当下之间不同层面的差异，以此创造叙事性的图像。一种视觉考古形式，有时与内在的社会、政治和现实生态相融合或碰撞。图像也以这样的方式变成了虚构和投影之地。它看起来像是舞台或电影，处在现实与想象之间，过去与现在之间的某处边缘。
——Andreas Lang
在天文学中，“蚀”表述的是一个明亮天体覆盖另一个天体的现象。2006年发生的一次月食激发了安德烈亚斯·朗（Andreas Lang）想要拍摄中东景观（土耳其、叙利亚、以色列和巴勒斯坦等地）的念头，而这些景观与早期基督教十字军东征又息息相关。他的几乎全黑白类比式的创作，呈现出深刻又似乎形而上的美学特征。这些作品追溯着欧亚曾经的命运和悲惨历史的痕迹，并将过往的精神与当下的反思相融合，并在浪漫主义，尤其是卡斯帕大卫弗里德里希的画作，朗的作品也重新提出了关乎人类的终极问题。ECLIPSE : holy land - holy war
landscapes of early christianity and the crusades in the Near East
Where does Europe end? In Portugal, or, after all, in New York, the most western outpost of European thinking? On the Bosporus or, after all, in the Holy Land, without whose Jewish-Christian tradition European civilisation would be quite simply unthinkable. Admittedly, the Crusades of the 11th century were not the first link between medieval Europe and the Near East. But the idea of “Holy Wars” has had a lasting impact on peoples’ thinking and the fact that international terrorism today legitimises itself by means of a 'Jihad’ announced via satellite only illustrates the explosiveness of this “model”, even in our times. Presaging the First Crusade (1095) celestial portents, comets, a solar eclipse are supposed to have announced the end of the world. And it was a solar eclipse predicted for 2006 that prompted Andréas Lang to continue his photographic reconnaissance of locations immersed in history, treading the same paths as the early Christians and Crusaders. But 'eclipse’ not only stands for an astronomical phenomenon. It also stands for the half-light of the Middle Ages which, for Lang, once again finds its counterpart in a pictorial language that emphasises the dark. In 2006 and 2007, the photographer’s travels took him to the Near East, to Turkey, to Syria, Israel and Palestine, following in the footsteps of the Crusaders, recording their traces manifested in stone: again, not in the sense of illustration or documentation but as an attempt to visualise something of the (irrational) spirit of the time. In Lang’s black and white photograph the Crac des Chevaliers looks like an extraterrestrial spaceship that has just landed, and to the Muslims at the time, the first Crusaders must indeed have appeared like iron-clad creatures from another planet. Let us spare ourselves a list of the atrocities committed on both sides. What is more important is the spiritual horizon against which imperial ideas arise and spread. At first glance Lang seems mainly to confirm our idea of the “Dark Ages”. In continuing his cycle, however, by taking photographs of landscapes in the Israel of today or of the everyday life of the Palestinians, he underscores the subject’s topicality. And this time he uses colour as a signal of his desire to take issue with a present that is anything but peaceful. The centuries of religious and cultural conflict – where will it all lead? There is one absurd picture of a signpost punctuated with a question mark. Do we know? We do not.
