The second solo show by New York based artist Hanna Liden contains photographic landscapes, interiors, a self-portrait, and a dip (digital image projection). The fake-sublime landscapes were produced in Sweden, Brooklyn, and Texas. They depict members of post-apocalyptic tribes and their primitive/science-fiction sacred totems. Some of these creatures are survivors, some zombies, and some plain dead. The interiors are ethnographical studies of relics and props belonging to these tribes. “Liden delivers a cunning referential amalgam that comprises Northern European Romantic painting and art cinema, heavy metal and Hollywood horror,” writes David Rimanelli (Artforum, January 2006). “Her images evoke a mythic past, but one that has been disinterred from the graveyard of timelessness.” Most of the works were made in 2005-2006 while listening to Madonna’s Confessions on a dance floor.

Liden had her first exhibition with Rivington Arms in 2004. She is featured in the 2006 Whitney Biennial, Day for Night.
