Lisa Klapstock

Lisa Klapstock (b. 1968) was the DIVA resident in Copenhagen from june to August 2007. She is a photo-based artist living in Toronto. In her work, she investigates what she describes as "mechanisms of seeing" and the role of the camera in affecting and challenging the way we view and experience our surroundings. Her photographs and videos explore the boundaries between abstraction and realism, and seek to reveal the complex relationship between photographic depiction and visual perception. Klapstock's early work examined the hidden environment of Toronto’s back lanes and drew attention to the fragile boundaries between public and private realms. Recent subject matter includes views of private gardens, man-made and natural landscapes, and populated tourist sites.

Lisa Klapstock has exhibited widely in North America and Europe. She holds a Communications degree from Simon Fraser University, Vancouver. She is nominated by Danish artist Astrid Kruse Jensen.
