The 36-views contact sheet creates a unique image. Thomas Lang gives to see details, mistakes; he stages a disorder which is balanced. His “Gestalts“, the name of his series and a German term that translates into “patterns” in English, are carefully constructed with a mathematical approach. A beauty is born that comes from the unpredictable. The narration is abstract; the surface becomes deep. These images remind us of the origin of photography: the film and the animal machine of Etienne-Jules Marey, A series to see in an exhibition in Arles at the moment.
