Susann Carmen Jagodzińska (1990)
is a Polish (in Germany born) photographer, filmmaker, and writer.
Through a metaphysical contemplation on existence,
she explores the invisible layers of consciousness
and how they influence the nature of reality.
Memory is experienced as fluid and multidimensional.
She invites the viewer’s own intuition and internal rhythm
to complete the artwork.
Her work has been shown in international exhibitions
and publications, as well as at international independent photography and film festivals.
"Children of the golden Sun" has been shown at
the 7 th Biennale de la Photographie de Mulhouse
titled "Sedimentation(s)" in collaboration with PEP
-Photographic Exploration Project.
It is also finalist for the "Le Prix Révélation Saif x La Kabine"
and was shown at the Festival OFF Arles 2026.
Her poetry film "Prayer to the Ocean" is curated by the Institute for Experimental Arts in Athen.
She studied philosophy, ethnology, film and creation
in Germany, Japan, and France.
Her work is a dialog between theory and praxis.
She has entered the mentorship Program with the Les Amies du "National Museum of Woman's in Art" in which the heritage curator of the Albert Kahn Museum in France, Florence Le Core, has became her mentor.
She works with Super 8, 16mm film and analog photography, sometimes painting on photographs.
She uses prose poetry, as another layer, to question the nature of human reality.
“Echo of Photons” (2022), published by Céeditions, is her first photography and text monograph.
She is currently working on her next book
“Children of the Golden Sun”.

MASTER WORK
“Organic Cinema: Recognizing the Artificiel, Confronting the past”
This work aims to show how Organic Cinema, a cinema that would like to get closer to nature, to make space for real time, through, for example, long takes, stands out in its relationship between the author, the work and the observer. It intends to show that the cinema and its codes can have effects which encourage the reproduction of artificial constructions. Which can be manipulated and manipulative as in the case of propaganda. It is particularly focused on Eastern Europe. It studyies the filmic processes used and invented under communism, compares the Organic Cinema to them and looks at the responses of two films in particular: Sátántangó by Béla Tarr and Mirror by Andrei Tarkovsky. It tries to see how these films encourage presence and recognition of the artificial (denial, belief systems, etc.). The recognition of these artificial constructions and the spatio-temporal re-expérience offered by their cinema leave room for the observer to be able to confront his past, find a voice to talk about his wounds, and begin, perhaps, a journey towards healing.
