Norrtälje Konsthall, 2025
In Ringborgs solo show Blindgångare we see a range of works from last years containing photography, sculpture and video, creating an intimate and immersive atmosphere. In her sight specific installation on the top floor of the exhibition space we meet a large wild boar balancing on a circular ramp frozen in it’s own movement(?). Unsure if the creature is about to attack or falling down, it expresses both aggression and vulnerability.
In Ringborg’s silver gelatin photographs—and in those using an infrared filter—we encounter an intimate and enclosed world where external and internal realities merge. A door becomes a portal into an unknown darkness. The work Moonshine, which refers both to the moon and to moonshine (illicit spirits), alludes to transformation and to entering altered states. The figurine has collapsed, and the summer flowers on the windowsill have withered, shedding their seeds for the next season. Something has ended, and something else is beginning. The Vanitas motif recurs, but in a personal interpretation that evokes the child’s experience of their immediate surroundings—where the contrasts between darkness and light are ever-present.
