This event has ended.
Sous Les Etoiles Gallery presents “Not above a whisper,” featuring work by Scandinavian photographers Susanne Wellm and Eeva Hannula.
Selections from Wellm’s series Inner Landscapes and Hannula’s The Structure of Uncertainty highlight the nebulous relationship between past and present, real and imagined. The photographers compose visual poems and stories from the extraordinary vantage point of the unconscious through personal archive materials, printmaking, and film still photography.
Susanne Wellm (b. 1965) is originally a printmaker, educated at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts at the Institute for Unica. She lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her work includes various photographic techniques, such as Polaroid, Super 8 film, digital photography and collage. She has exhibited broadly in Denmark, Japan, China, Finland, and the US, including solo shows at Blue Sky Gallery (Portland, OR) and The National Museum of Photography in Copenhagen. She is represented in several public and private collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts (Houston, TX), Portland Art Museum (OR), Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts (Japan) and Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center (Austin, TX). Her series Inner Landscapes was published into a photo book by Kehrer Verlag.
Eeva Hannula (b. 1983) is an emerging photographer currently studying for her MA in photography at Aalto University School of Art, Design and Architecture in Helsinki, Finland. She explores psychoanalytical method and the concept of Freud’s uncanny in her series The Structure of Uncertainty, selections of which have appeared in group shows at The Finnish Museum of Photography, Les Rencontres d’Arles (Paris), and Fellehus Nordic Embassies (Berlin), among others. In 2013, she was awarded a grant from the Arts Council of Finland and selected as part of Foam Magazine’s Talent Issue.
