Description
Lovisa Ringborg's photographs blur the boundaries between reality and fiction, creating dreamy scenarios that capture an inner world. Her latest series, In the Belly of the Beast (2014) and Night Remains (2017), highlight the power of the subconscious, leaving viewers with a feeling of uncertainty and wonder. Guided by intuition, Ringborg's post-production phase is crucial in achieving her desired expression. Her photographs often feature protagonists descending into dark landscapes or disappearing under layers of blankets and sheets, challenging our preconceptions of the world. Dark, subconscious forces lurk in the background, drawing parallels with art history, particularly the Renaissance and Baroque era. The inclusion of sculpture in Ringborg's practice extends her work beyond the picture frame, conveying a sense of metamorphosis that immerses viewers in an atmosphere of uncertainty and wonder.
