RONJA SVANEBORG (b. 1985) is a transmedia artist, whose work shows itself as sculpture, sound, performance and installation. Her methodology is rooted around acts of translation, examining the space that exists while meaning is transferred from one expression or awareness to another. In this way working between frequencies, she draws attention to the systems through which we experience and act, suggesting that there is great beauty and liberation to be found in disorientating spaces without the necessity or possibility of definition. |
