Susanna Ludwigs projec revolves around reality and fiction, time, loss and memory.
Every individual perceives the world differently and is living in his “own”
world. Here we explore the difference between relaity and a created ficition. in her own words: "My interest in the discarded object developed further into a series of photographs
of objects collected by my grandmother. I am interested in the question of how
individuals behave and are influenced by the society that surrounds us.
Never throwing anything away my grandmother consequently accumulated a
vast collection on display in her cellar. While photographing her museum, I drew
my own imagination of her life to the surface by playing light over these items
and imagined my grandmother’s life before I was born. Moreover, they developed
a double meaning: having surrounded me throughout my life, these objects also
turned into memories of my own childhood."
Personally i feel that the images are not that much of a representation of the real relationship between grandma and granddaughter. the images are dark but the way Ludwig talks about her grandma is with pride and admoration.
The images in themselves are dark, and once again astmospheric, it allows the audience to build a piture about the 'grandma' character as well as the relationship with the photographer by the way the images are shot.
This idea of sparking the audiences imagination is something th\at i want to focus on myself.
