The Danish artist Peter Land studied at Goldsmith's College, London. He has mainly shown video works since 1994, but he constantly accompanies them with drawings and photographic works. Land's work deals with self-exposure: of the body, the person, the artist and ultimately of society. His images demonstrate the tragicomic failure of human attempts to appear competent, casual and convincing in societally determined roles; and they deal with the absurdity, the shattering ridiculousness and the clown-like sadness that is associated with the failure of these attempts.
