Suzanne Banning

Born in Hengelo (Overijssel) the Netherlands in 1973. Currently lives and works in Houston, TX, USA.


Suzanne Banning is an artist who uses photography as her medium. Her process is a very experimental one; she dances and sings with her camera in her hand, taking pictures sort of randomly, but still controlled. Her music takes her to a different place, into a kind of trance, where the body disintergrates into surreal layers of foggy forms.

Her inspirations are mostly from her favorite music (Tori Amos, Bjork, Alanis Morissette) and there's a constant interplay between the music, her camera, herself and her reactions to the results she sees appearing in the expandable monitor of her digital camera.
