Sam Contis presents a new window onto the work of Dorothea Lange. Drawing from Lange's extensive archive, she constructs a fragmented, unfamiliar world centred on the figure of the day sleeper, at once a symbol of respite and of oblivion. The work shows one artist through the eyes of another, responding to the resonances between their ways of seeing, and reveals a largely unknown side of Lange, including previously unseen pictures of her family and portraiture made in her studio.
