Born in Lyons, France, Regis Lansac has carried a camera with him from the age of 10, when his father gave him his first brownie, formally studying photography in Melbourne later in life. Over the past 35 years, since his permanent relocation to Australia, Lansac is best known for his dance and theatre photography and in particular his visual set designs and the iconography he created for Meryl Tankard and her dance theatre companies. Lansac’s curiosity as a photographer ranges far wider, an observer of the striking and unusual. His current exhibition, a play on the French word ‘mur’, gathers images of walls that speak to him, to the people contained within the images, and to the viewer. Regis Lansac’s photography has featured in solo exhibitions in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide Dusseldforf and Paris. In 2008, a survey of his work -Vita Breva - was held at Wollongong City Art Gallery. The National Gallery of Australia, The National Library of Australia and the Art Gallery of South Australia hold examples of his work.
