The collaboration between Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann began in 1990.
This duo of artists has put in place an unstoppable work protocol: their creations come in series, according to their form, their color or their materials; each of them is therefore numbered with the title of the category of which it belongs.
Sculptures in wood, metal or inflatable, wall and floor paintings, more or less light architectural interventions make up this catalogue of various forms, which are exhibited internationally.
In France, we could cite the example of the Everland Hotel, a single-room mobile hotel room, installed on the roof of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris from 2007 to 2009, or Beautiful View #1, seats so high that they make their privileged view inaccessible, installed in 2019 in the university district of Nanterre and first model of a new series.
Many of their works can not only be watched but also used; others, meanwhile, only simulate their usefulness, such as the famous series of beautiful but useless stairs, Beautiful Steps.
The pieces are contextual; they add to their environment by drawing inspiration from the present forms, or on the contrary, stand out from them to appear staggered. Augmented architectures, slight disturbances in the landscape, the creations of Lang and Baumann play this delicate balance between what seems unknown or familiar to us.
