Contemporary Art & Design presents Lovisa Ringborg

Lovisa Ringborg works in a variety of techniques, including photography, video and sculpture, which have become increasingly central to her practice. She has had several acclaimed solo exhibitions in Sweden and abroad, including in the United States, South Korea, Switzerland and Finland. In 2019, her book "Phantom Limbs" was published, which was named one of the winners of Svensk Bokkonst 2019 and included in Lens Culture's top list of best photo books for 2020.

Susanna Slöör reviewed the exhibition 'Night Remains' at Cecilia Hillström Gallery, 2017. She describes how Ringborg's photographs are ambiguous and imaginative, and how she interprets the dark paintings of the Renaissance in her work:

"It is remarkable how the imagery within the works of Lovisa Ringborg, which are on display at Galleri Cecilia Hillström, strikes and decisively shapes one's impression. The young Renaissance artists Massacio (The Holy Trinity in Santa Maria Novella in Florence) and Uccello (The Fall of Man Suite in Chiostro Verde, a stone's throw from Massacio's work) intervene and, for my part, transform the diptychs 'Dancing Wall' and 'Nesting' into a dance of death in which the memorial stone has the last word.

The soft rose-green-grey chord contributes to the time travel and the play of forms; silence and inferno coexist and the image suggests both purgatory and the subsequent judgement."
