Susann Carmen Jagodzińska

Susann Carmen Jagodzińska (Born 1990 in Germany) is a polish photographer, writer and filmmaker based in Paris, France. 

Her work is a meditative reflection that focuses on the inner sphere and its relationship with the collective, universal nature.

After studying philosophy, ethnology, film and creation in Germany, Japan and France she wrote her masterwork titled:

"Organic Cinema, recognizing the artificial, confronting the past".

The work aims to reflect upon an "organic" ( or more "human") approach towards film- (art) making. 

Questioning the industrial approach to continuous looping of codes in replay and how this affects human selfawarness.

A subject that she continues to recherche and explore  scientifically and artistically. 

While working with film, photography and text.

 

"Our present society is based on an internal disconnection.

We have co- created a highly divided, cold world where the inner Instinct, Intuition, Soul expression

is suppressed and highly controlled by external structures of power, power-abuse.

 

There is a deep internal longing... towards the journey, the spiritual journey that Life is. 

Creation (and Art as a part of it) is holding the tool of remembrance towards this journey when met with compassion.

Selfintergration carries the form of an ascending spiral and is able to transcend space and time. 

This brings the experience of an internal flowering, while questioning and learning about the nature of the known reality.

The own reality. "

 

 

Her debut short film Brzeg (Shore), telling the story of two children lost in a suspended world,

between memory and reality, life and death.

Echo of Photons, a photo text book published in 2022 that documents the process in which she got aware of her own internal fragmentation

and the importance of nature leading the process towards healing,

featuring a series which got a special mention from Urbanautica Awards 2024.

 

Since 2021, she is working on "Children of the golden Sun" that brings to awareness the importance of understanding Traumatransposition.

For this project she got selected for the Masterclass "Making of the Handmade Artist Book" held by Origini Edizioni in Livorno, Italy. 

She received international recognitions and was part of international exhibitions.

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.
