Margaret Liang

MOUNTAIN OF A ? (UK)

Margaret Liang’s subjects, including the artist, claim their space with a calm yet determined focus. Instruments of creating a self-determined body image appear as highly stylised icons of resolution. She shows subtle yet wilful, potent yet tender poses and interactions. Liang’s film photography work is carefully constructed around the question of self-determination and the potentials a body holds. Capability can be soft and focused, it can be strong and fluid. Embedded in neutrally toned and well tempered interior settings, Liang gives us clear focus points and finespun confrontations with bodies that build themselves.
Margaret Liangs fotografische Subjekte, Liang miteingeschlossen, bestimmen ruhig und fokussiert den Bildraum, machen ihn zu ihrem. Instrumente, die zur selbstbestimmten Gestaltung des eigenen Körperbildes genutzt werden können, erscheinen als stilisierte Zeichen von Entschlossenheit. Sie zeigt subtile aber willensstarke, potente aber zarte Posen und zwischenmenschliche Kraftspiele. Liangs Filmfotografie kreist konzeptuell um die Frage nach der Selbstbestimmung über das eigene Körperbild und die Potentiale, die ein Körper birgt.
