Ann Lislegaard

NCA/Nichido Contemporary Art is presenting the Danish artist Ann Lislegaard’s first solo show in Tokyo, Japan. A video installation “Bellona” which was released at the 51st Venice Biennale in 2005 is on display.
With her sound, video and animation works, Lislegaard explores the relationship between space, identity and subjectivity and creates changing and unstable spaces - mise-en-scene’s - where elements and people constantly merge. Lislegaard’s temporal re-arrangements and spatial dislocations address the experience and perception of space.
Bellona, the fictional city of Samuel R. Delany’s 1974 science fiction cult classic Dhalgren is a place beyond reason, where time and space is out of joint and architectural fixtures seem to be in constant flux and transformation. In Lislegaard’s video animation installation, Bellona is a psychological space, in which norms and standards seem to dissolve into a chaos of anti-hierarchical conditions.
