Private View of works by Luxembourg photographer Kim Lang: Echoes Across the Atlantic

Echoes Across the Atlantic presents the work of Luxembourg-born, London-based photographer Kim Lang, whose practice moves fluidly between fashion, portraiture and documentary photography. The exhibition reflects on three interconnected bodies of work: his personal artistic practice, along with two photojournalistic projects, Odyssey of Reconnection and Nations of the Atlantic. Each explores themes of identity, belonging, and cultural memory through a distinctly personal lens. Taken between 2018 and 2025, the works showcase his perspective on transformation and intertwined cultural identity. In Odyssey of Reconnection, Lang traces his own journey of reconciling with his Cape Verdean roots, expanding it into a broader reflection on migration, hybridity and diasporic identity. This thread continues in Nations of the Atlantic, which turns to island communities from West Africa to the Caribbean, reflecting on their intimate relationship with the ocean as both a site of connection and vulnerability. Together, these series explore identity as something fluid, layered and in constant transformation. Complementing these narratives, Lang’s artistic series repositions fashion imagery as a form of storytelling rooted in raw expression, mythology and self-inquiry. Through an introspective approach, he challenges the high-gloss expectations of the fashion world, creating images that blend academic understanding with personal perspectives. Across the exhibition, his photographs form a dialogue between continents, generations and histories, offering an evocative study of self-reflection, belonging and the strength of cultural collaboration.
