Fritz Lang – Frau im Mond (1929)

Louisiana poster featuring the work, Frau im Mond, (1929), by Austrian-American film director, Fritz Lang (1809-1976). The image on the poster is from Lang's science fiction film about a journey to the moon and the poster was released in connection with Louisiana's 2018 exhibition, The Moon – From the Inner World to Outer Space.

The exhibition featured up to 150 works about the Moon as one of our culture's great motifs and drew a multifaceted portrait of Earth's natural satellite through art, film, music, literature, cultural historical objects, design, architecture, natural science and astronomy.

As the only celestial body whose surface can be seen with the naked eye from Earth, the Moon has fascinated artists and writers for centuries. Its round, white disk has been an open projection surface for myths, imaginations and dreams.

When we look out into space, we also see ourselves – and the Moon, as an absolute otherness , becomes a mirror for the human. Here science and folk belief, fiction and technology, existential search and economic expansionism meet.

Louisiana's exhibition examined how seemingly contradictory cultural impulses are intertwined in the recent history of the Moon.
