The Wilderness
What is expressed in her film works is the infinite power of nature, and those who view her works cannot help feeling a sense of dread and the ephemeral nature of human existence in the scenes that unfold before them.
Three of her early representative works are Forty Below (1999), Too dark for night (2001) and Glass Hour (2002).
In Metamorphosis, producedin 2008 and screened in many cities, she shows the movement of a waterfall that continuously undulated as if by some powerful will, and added to it a heavy echo, causing the viewer to experience an overwhelming emotion that resembled fear.
The new work she presents here, The Wilderness,is the first part of the project on which Langan is currently working. Depicted in the film is a wilderness in some unknown place. The desolate, fin de siècle scenery resembles a scene not from the present but from the future at a time when our civilization has met its end. The reason, whether this is the world after a nuclear war or whether a judgment has been handed down on mankind, is uncertain.
