(also known as Susa Jörgen) is an exceptional contemporary sculptor and draughtswoman. She is best known for her delicate wire sculptures and expansive installations, which possess more volume than mass and, in interplay with light and shadow, unfold fascinating three-dimensionality.Object Art and Wire Sculptures: Lightness in Space
Woven and shaped from fine wire, Susanne Jörgen's sculptures resemble floating lightweights. Her wire sculptures – from busts and torsos to life-sized figures such as centaurs – unfold an unmistakable physicality. Instead of resting rigidly on pedestals, many of her works hang freely from the ceiling, circling the space and gently moving with the slightest breath of air.
The Play of Light, Shadow, and Drawing
A central element in Susa Jörgen's work is the fascinating play of shadows: when light hits the coiled wire loops, the sculpture is projected onto the wall, creating a plastic, light-infused shadow body. The sculpture then takes on the characteristics of a three-dimensional drawing. This interplay between real and projected form also characterizes her paper works – such as her expressive sanguine and charcoal drawings.
