Ringborg's photographs are united by a sense of the unknown hiding beneath the surface or being camouflaged; her protagonists descend into muddy waters merging with the dark landscape or disappear under layers of blankets and sheets. Ringborg challenges our preconceptions of the world, while dark, subconscious forces are luring in the background. With references to art history, particularly the Renaissance and Baroque era, Lovisa Ringborg navigates a narrow path between beauty and repulsion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn recent years, Ringborg has included sculpture in her practice, serving both as objects in her photographic works and as physical objects in the exhibition space. These sculptures, conveying a sense of metamorphosis, extend the immersive state of uncertainty and wonder outside the picture frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47383902683372,"sku":"9789171264794","price":85.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/11635073485453.jpg?v=1773387456"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/lovisa-ringborg.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
