EMPIRE II IS AN ARTIST LED SATELLITE PROJECT DEVISED AND CURATED BY VANYA BALOGH FOR 57TH LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA.

An intimate, immersive digital installation, Empire II screen will confront us with ideas on climate change, politics of attrition, immigration, narcissism, sex, despair, love, hate, loss of identity, addiction, violence, false economics, digital rape, cyber crime, space travel, pollution, death and consumerism, all coexisting among many concurrent themes. Focused on our present, The Age of Anxiety, whilst turning madness into metaphysics, artists respond and demonstrate their feelings, thoughts and objections to the post truth world incumbent in lies and power struggles.

We interview London based visual artist Susana Sanromán who was born in Galicia, Spain and has achieved a lot in her short career so far. She is an award winning artist and as a person, she has that philosophical depth and edge that makes her work interesting and unique. Her exhibition “The Things We Leave Behind” which highlighted the impact of waste, resulting from the continuous production of goods in our societies, was out at the Leica Gallery in Mayfair during April.The video  of the same exhibition has also been selected for the Atkins CIWEM Environmental Photographer of the year 2016. Susana is definitely a talent to watch and is already making waves thanks to her gift for images.It is a pleasure to interview a lady of the world with a big talent and a humble attitude. (Extract from The Lady of the World Interview)

The Atkins CIWEM Environmental Photographer of the Year competition organisers have announced that their shortlist of 60 images will go on show at the Royal Geographical Society in London from 29 June to 21 August 2016. The exhibition will then travel to Grizedale Forest, Cumbria.

The competition aims to provide an international showcase for the very best in environmental photography and film, and to inspire a global audience to think differently about contemporary social and environmental issues, including sustainable development, pollution and human rights.

The call for submissions generated around ten thousand entries from around the globe, which were then judged on impact, relevance, originality and technical ability by a panel of judges working within various fields dealing with environmental and conservation issues.

THE THINGS WE LEAVE BEHIND aims to highlight the impact of waste, resulting from the continuous production of goods in our societies. It also looks at the effects of phasing out certain activities and industries that are no longer sustainable, as a result of the economic constraints on the system.
This excessive consumerism has had a serious impact on our environment. The amount of debris is ever growing, while managing it is becoming increasingly expensive.
The images portray real scenarios, where the accumulation of waste has occurred naturally; due to a need for disposal, recycling, or as a result of various industries' gradual abandonment of activities that are no longer viable.

The Things We Leave Behind

An exhibition by Susana Sanromán


The Things We Leave Behind is a brand new exhibition of photography by Susana Sanromán. Mostly captured on the Leica S-System between 2013 and 2016, this poignant yet fascinating series of images aims to highlight the impact of waste, resulting from the continuous production of goods in our societies. It also looks at the effects of phasing out certain activities and industries that are no longer sustainable, as a result of the economic constraints on the system.
Excessive consumerism has had a serious impact on our environment. The amount of debris is ever growing, while managing it is becoming increasingly expensive.
Susana’s photographs portray real scenarios, where the accumulation of waste has occurred naturally; due to a need for disposal, recycling, or as a result of various industries’ gradual abandonment of activities that are no longer viable.
Making use of a merely figurative and anonymous signifier, Susana uses the 'mummy' to imply that 'human' presence and society are the catalytic changing forces in the landscape we observe.
In each image, the material used in the 'mummification' relates to the background. The human figure merges into its surroundings, until a complete metamorphosis has taken place.
The mummy, as an aspect of human remains, like the landscape depicted, evokes concepts such as death, waste, neglect, degradation and ultimate transformation.
