Susann Carmen Jagodzińska

is a polish-german photographer, writer and filmmaker based in Paris, France.

She works in the field of art as a form of self integration and self discovery.

She is looking at inner places where separations has occurred and where belief systems might impose their role over intuition.

She tries to make the constructed selves and their belief systems visible by providing and understanding how

a « self reflective » space thought art can be created.

« When feeling into a silent space for witnessing the origin, where pain has occurred, we become more self conscious and able to heal those fragmented parts into wholeness. So that memory and remembrance of the intuitive self can emerge and be experienced. »

Through her art she tries to give to the observers, the ones that actively observe the artwork and themself, space to

« hear and feel» their own thoughts and emotions by sharing her own experience.

After studying ethnology, philosophy and film in Germany, Japan and France, she wrote her master work

titled Organic Cinema, recognizing the artificial, confronting the past. A subject that she continues to explore.

She also turned herself towards photography while continuing her filmic experiences.

In 2019, she shot Brzeg (Shore) a short movie mixing black and white and color, telling the story of two

children lost in a suspended world, between memory and reality, life and death. She then directed other short

movies and music videos using super8 film and also her Krasnogorsk III 16mm camera, developing her

technic and expression. Simultaneously continuing her photographies,

she created her first book Echo of Photons, a photo text book published in 2022 by Céedition.

Echo of Photons is an intuitive and intimate work, including photos taken in Poland and France, like a journey through memories toward the sea, and a prose composition telling the journey of a young girl trying to find sense in the chaos of amnesia and trauma, impression and feeling.

This publishing led to signings at Le Ball 2022, Arles Book Fair 2023, Polycopies 2023, etc…

In 2024 an exhibition at the Gallery Iris Arles showcased the book’s photographies and text.

Also in 2024, she united photography, film and poetry in a collaboration with Euchronia,

a Japanese fashion creator and artist, leading to the Réminiscence photographic series as well

as the poetry film Prayer to the ocean.

She is currently finishing the postproduction of a short film in 16mm called My Bright Blue Heart and

she is working on her second book, Songs of the sun and the sea.
