Sussie Wejnold is a renowned Danish documentary filmmaker and photographer

Her still photographs capture a world suspended between reality and dreams, where colors and contrasts shape intimate narratives. Each image is meticulously composed, with a cinematic precision that balances fluid lines and striking geometries. Her mastery of light and shadow sculpts depth and emotion, while delicate tones and rich textures invite the viewer into a moment of quiet contemplation. Her work transcends mere documentation, becoming a poetic meditation on time, space, and existence. Through her lens, simplicity transforms into beauty—muted pastels hum with nostalgia, deep blues whisper of solitude, and golden light turns the ordinary into the extraordinary.A poetic stillness.
