How long does it take to see? Artist and director Susanna Wallin is in no hurry. She spends long time observing people, places, and, it seems, even time itself. This unhurried and open gaze turns into short films created together with those she encounters. In each of her films, small miracles disrupt the usual rhythm of everydayness, blurring the boundaries between reality and imagination. Glances, bodies, their movements, and stories intertwine within time that is given to us. Susanna Wallin seems to ask – what can we do with this time? We search for the answer together, yet the most important thing seems to be a true feeling of togetherness and the possibility of new perspectives. Susanna Wallin’s retrospective presents selected short films created from 2006 to 2024.
