生于1966年,瑞典
莉莎·斯特龙贝克是一位住在哥本哈根的艺术家。她的作品跨越了摄影、视频和装置艺术媒介,拥抱了爱、占有和权力的矛盾。一个反复出现的主题是人与其他动物之间的等级制度,她的作品引发了对不幸者的同情。
“我的一个朋友试图让我相信轮回。这并不容易,但当我想到我可能在所有前世中都曾是狗时,轮回似乎变得可能。这也解释了为什么我喜欢待在狗的周围,无论是我自己的还是流浪狗。我的另一个重大兴趣点是人类心理学,这使得狗比其他动物更有趣,因为它们完全是由我们人类设定来满足我们的需求的。通过观察哪些品种受欢迎,你可以得到当前西方世界的(心理)诊断。如今,大多数人想要温柔和身体接触。在我的《在床上》系列中,我试图描述那种亲密关系:皮肤对皮毛,身体对身体。《代号》系列展示了人类的黑暗面。一些人在诉说自己有多爱动物时撒谎,他们只爱自己的宠物,却忽视了那些活着就是为了被做成皮草外套而遭受苦难的可怜动物。”

Lisa Strömbeck
B. 1966, Sweden
Lisa Strömbeck is a Copenhagen based artist. Her work spans the medium of photography, video and installation and embraces the contradictions of love, possession, and power. A recurring theme is the hierarchies between humans and other animals, where her works trigger empathy for the less fortunate.
“A friend of mine tried to convince me about reincarnation. It wasn’t easy, but when I thought I might have lived as a dog in all my previous lives, reincarnation seemed possible. That would explain why I love to be around dogs, whether they are my own or stray dogs. My other great interest is human psychology, which makes dogs more interesting than other animals, since they are completely de- signed by us to fulfil our needs. You get a diagnosis of the Western World right now, by observing which breeds are popular. Today most people want tenderness and physical contact. In my In Bed series, I try to describe that intimacy:skin to fur, body to body. The Uniform series show the darker side of human beings. Those who lie about how much they love animals, when they only mean their own pet, as they neglect the suffering of the poor animals who lived to become the fur coat.”
