Biography

Lisa Röing Baer (*1994, Sweden) delves into the contradictions and nuances of human existence in the 21st century. Through photography and objects, she records and examines the transient: things and structures which are subject to change or on the brink of disappearance.

Her practice largely consists of two areas. Firstly, analog photography. That technology, like many of her motifs, is the remnant of a bygone era. She continuously works on individual images that make up her archive. She engages deeply with the language of photography but also goes beyond it:

For exhibitions, she creates objects and installations. In addition to her own photographs, she uses commercially printed matter and other materials. She places particular attention on the periphery: the margins of what is being regarded are just as important as its centre. Formally, this results in a strong attention on framing.
