Sussie Wejnold is a renowned Danish documentary filmmaker and photographer. Her visual work sheds light on the quiet and mysterious aspects of our existence—ranging from desolate, lonely landscapes to intimate portraits of young adults and the stillness found in botanical gardens.

Influenced deeply by filmmaking and cinematic language, Sussie discovers beauty in the quiet and sensitive moments of life. Her photographs invite us to view the ordinary in a new way, unveiling hidden depths and profound significance. Through a vibrant visual style, rich in color and abstraction, she transports us to a world that runs parallel to reality.

One of her ongoing series features portraits of young adults, where the line between fiction and reality becomes blurred. These portraits explore the gap between personal vulnerability and societal expectations, merging the experiences of strangers with our own.
