Susana Sanroman has been invited to take part of 51% RememberHer exhibition on International Women's day

6/2/2017

 
Launching on International Womenʼs Day Wednesday March 8th 51%RememberHer references London's 51 per cent female population and is the inaugural exhibition of over 100 women artists featuring sculpture, painting, animation, installation, photography, drawing, performance, graffiti, spoken word, history walks, talks and special events throughout the month.

Picture

51% RememberHer provides a significant survey of the creative female talent who live, work, study or have a family connection to the creative melting pot of East London.
Artists will animate the East Tower of the Byzantine style, Grade II listed church, spilling over into the South Hall and Upper Balcony.
Curator Rebecca Feiner said "Women are half of our history, half of our present, and half, of all our futures. Culturally with Maria Balshaw taking over at London's Tate Modern, and politically women physically making their presence felt from Japan, to Poland, from Saudi Arabia to America and here in the UK, it really felt like the right time to celebrate female creativity and make this exhibition happen.”
Exhibition continues until April 8th at the Tower Gallery (East Tower), Memorial Community Church, 395 Barking Road, London E13.
51%RememberHer is an off-site project by Elements Gallery London, the capital's first dedicated exhibition space for outdoor art.
Artists include Sian-Kate Mooney, Helene Corr Birgitta Hosea Sarah Sparkes Lynn Charlotte Lu Miyuki Kasahara Art Sripey J Kemfor Julia Maddison Julie Ann Sarah Pager Emma Roper-evans Spin Spinoff Nadia Ballan Emma Harvey Blandine Martin Mona K Art Mia C O'Shea Poppy Whatmore Cheryl Papasian Anna Fairchild Alina Gavrielatos Philippa King Rebecca Scott Marisa Polin Joanna McCormick Tiziana Mandolesi Rekha Sameer Emily Cole Cat Any India Roper-Evans Rubbish Artist Abi French Sophie Cullinan Tisna Westerhof Faye Michelle Susana Sanroman Tracie Angiolini Sooz Belnavis Maryam Hashemi Vanja Karas Ana Maria Cardoso Cockerill Kylie Land Sarah Doyle Monika Tobel Jessica Bailey Julie Caves Emma Harvey Meli Meli Charlotte Bracegirdle Mandy Prowse and many more...

Behind the scenes video at Traid of 'The Things We Leave Behind' project with artist Susana Sanroman

11/4/2016

 

Shot with Leica S (Type007)

This video was shot for the opening nights of Sanroman's exhibition at Leica Mayfair, and Leica Bank in April and May.

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 at Leica

7/4/2016

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.
