On the occasion of Michael Lange's publication of WALD with Hatje Cantz, Christoph Schaden wrote: "For three years Michael Lange roamed Germany's forests during the twilight hours. With unfailing intuition, he found those places of retreat in which the imaginings of childhood condense, in sober nature documentary form, into impressive visual coinages." And: "The failing of man's subjective categories in the forest forces a heightened watchfullness. In the photographic images of Michael Lange, an artistic strategy has grown out of magnifing this vigilant experiencing. This strategy is probably best compared with an experience that the poets of German Romaticism have invented a specific term for: Sylivan Solitude."w
Michael Lange lives and works in Hamburg, Germany. His work has been exhibited and published internationally. WALD was last exhibited at the Alfred Erhardt Foundation in Berlin.
The book to the series was published by Hatje Cantz.
