We are excited to announce that the Danish artist, Susanne Wellm is now represented by Taste Contemporary.
Since the 1990s, Wellm has explored and merged a number of photographic techniques. Wishing to return to a material-led approach and be reminded of why she was originally drawn to photography, she recently developed a technique that combines photography and weaving. ‘I could see that my background as a textile designer would show me a path back to more craft-oriented, tactile work’ she explains. ‘I started with some small textile and photographic experiments and eventually began weaving my prints.’
Time, memory and the construction of narrative are ever-present themes in her work. Her starting point is a vast archive of found imagery from old family albums, historical movie stills and original captures. Through these, Wellm draws connecting lines between the personal dramas of everyday life and the collective history and trauma of modern Europe.
Susanne Wellm is a graduate of The Royal Danish Academy of Architecture, Design and Conservation. She has exhibited widely and is represented in several museum collections.
We look forward to presenting Susanne Wellm’s work at artgenève 2025, which runs from 30 January to 2 February.
