Ann Lislegaard


Ann Lislegaard is a contemporary artist living and working in Copenhagen, Denmark and New York City, US. She is known for her 3D film animations and sound-light installations often departing from ideas found in science fiction. Through the genre of science fiction, she finds an alternative approach to language, narration, gender roles and concepts of the future.
