Suzanne Stokholm

Building Small Worlds

Suzanne Stokholm creates small worlds by building carefully observed models and uses light and facades that serve as backdrops for stories of security, the breakdown of meaning and an ambivalent sense of home.

The stories are photographic and borrow the camera’s documentary style to produce images of spaces which manifest grandiose  architecture, dissociation and ambivalent recognition.   It is this manifestation of light and darkness that leads the observer into an inner, psychological space which both fascinates and deceives. 

Stokholm’s photographs and installations are beautifully made with a clear aesthetic, clean lines and space, which create an atmosphere of underlying tension or unease which undermines their apparent reality.

Suzanne graduated from Aarhus Kunstakademi in 2019 and has many years of professional artistic practice behind her. 

Her current artistic praxis is based on staged architectural photography and installation.  The pieces created work on many levels.  Stokholm believes that there is the potential for exploration, not just of the physical architectural places pictured, but also of the observer’s own inner spaces.  Grief, love, etc. are inevitable and relational and Stokholm believes should not be confined to secrecy but explored in the open collective space.
