BIOGRAPHY
Alex Large and Liane Sommers have been living and working together as visual artists forever. Their work spans site-specific Performance and Installation Art, to Music Videos and Commercials and their background as Artists, Producers and Performers have provided a unique grounding for their role as Directors.
Their artificial approach to Bending Light and Art Direction has generated consistently distinctive, high-contrast images.
"We love to visually juggle with polar opposites, and maybe that's a symptom of two minds colliding..."
Their Wikipedia was removed in 2020 but they were mostly known for their inventive work in the music video world alongside the seminal "Factory films" for acts such Kylie Minogue, Tiga, Hercules and Love Affair, MC Shystie, Take That, Dido, Armand Van Helden, La Roux, Bloc Party, Zebra Katz and the Iconic German band Deichkind amongst others.
