Flaptekst

Susannah Stracer’s 'Another world out there' spans over three decades of outdoors photography. Although her main subject is people, it would be a mistake to call it social. No stories are being told, no deeper context is suggested. A split second of reality is captured and being transported into the universe of aesthetics. Susannah doesn’t participate, she doesn’t interfere - she takes scenes from the everyday outdoors and elevates them into the higher reality of light and shadow, lines and surfaces; turns them into magic by the touch of a knob, the opening of a shutter. That’s what witches do; that’s what alchemists do - that’s what photograpers do.
