Jack Lander

Photographer

I am an artist now primarily working with Photography and lens-based media. I am currently undertaking an MA in Documentary Photography with The University of South Wales. Home to The European Centre for Documentary Research. I work using photography, networked images and artificial intelligence drawing upon the realist conventions of documentary in an attempt to unsettle perceived narratives. Following graduation from the Glasgow School of Art Fine Art Photography program, I co-founded the anarchic arts collective 85A with whom I worked as director of photography on a feature-length horror film, built a giant people crusher, a mechanical self-playing orchestra and a submarine cinema. I have worked as an artist, director, designer and creative consultant across art forms, working work both nationally and internationally with organisations including, The National Theatre of Scotland, Untitled Projects, Bassline Circus, Cirque Bijous, Scottish Dance Theatre, 21Common, The ICA London, The Barbican, The Dublin Science Centre, The Centre for Contemporary Arts Glasgow, Not Quite Sweden, Fusion Festival, Sonar Barcelona, Sonica Festival and The Sydney Fringe. My photographic work has been published by, The Guardian, The Observer, Vice and Borsch Magazine​I have received funding grants from Creative Scotland and The English Arts Council and have undertaken residencies in Sweden and Scotland.
