About The Artwork

This project is a tribute to all those who are not among us anymore, especially those who left too early. I started La Morte in August 2015, during my stay in Atina (Italy) when I discover the old paper factory La Cartiera. La morte are seven pictures because it is the number of days of the official Catholic and Jewish mourning. We feel scared of death because we do not know what is waiting for us there but all of us will find out one day. Sometimes, when a death is unexpected, we find it difficult to talk about it and we reject the pain and forget the deceased. Each of these images is a tribute to all those who we don´t talk about, but who are still in our mind.

Susana López F., a visual artist from Gijón, Spain, becomes a modern day flâneur through photography. She studied Fine Arts, specializing in Painting, at Barcelona University, from where she also holds a PhD. Soon after, Susana travelled to London, New York or Paris to complete her studies and her camera travelled with her to capture her movements. Step by step, this hobby turned into her main body of work and she changed brushes for cameras. Susana’s artistic focus explores how the surface of the photograph is a modern day canvas to capture the ‘routine’, and transform it into something exceptional. "Photography is much more than a simple image. Photography is a way of feeling life, it is a way of living reality, it is a way of living the world." Currently, her mission is to catch the beauty of a city with each shot of her camera in a bid to capture the unnoticed aspects of city life that we all often are too busy to notice.   "For me, photography is a different thing. I feel passionate about photography, it is an art to taste the reality, it is the pleasure of intimate moments. My aim is to stop time and discover the authenticity of our existence. Photography is a way of life." The subject of her work is taken from, and inspired by, her personal experiences in the city and her daily life. Susana communicates through her pictures the history, architecture, consumerism and even immigration patterns of a city. She seeks to reveal this with a distance that reflects an objective and striking honesty. Some years ago, she discovered the power of social media which allowed her to expand her aims and really engaged with her concept on a wider digital platform. She loves using twitter, and her personal blog diffuses her projects, making her images, views and personal experiences accessible to everyone. Susana has been participating in individual and group shows since 2000. Her work exists in gallery collections, town halls, cultural associations and in collective and solo exhibitions in Spain and abroad. She recently showed her work in SantoraSpace in Los Angeles, the Venice Biennale as part as the collateral British group, Cervantes Institute in Sofia, 1aSpace in Hong Kong, The Other Art Fair in London, PointB in Brooklyn, NY or Woman Made Gallery in Chicago.
