Susann Carmen Jagodzinska

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

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

In this she is looking at inner places where separation has occurred and where belief systems might impose their role over intuition.

She tries to make the constructed selves and its belief systems visible.

By questioning its 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.

In this process the alienation of the self from itself and the outer reality, the witnessing of memories and the process in which the intuition emerges is being shared and expressed thought different forms of art.

  • “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.
