Susanne Stemmer

[1] Later, alongside her job as a commercial fashion photographer for companies such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Swarovski, she started developing her artistic style, especially in her free works.

[4] Her most famous works were created in the world of artistic underwater photography where she stages the depicted characters in dreamy, seemingly weightless underwater worlds to create a feeling of freedom, self-reflection and detachment from reality.

[5][1][6] She achieves these effects, for example, through long durations of exposure and playing with natural and artificial lighting.

[8][4] In her video installations, which are projected in large format on facades, the focus is on underwater visuals too, such as her work Beneath, presented on the occasion of Venice Biennale 2017 and at Nuit Blanche Paris 2018, as well as Beneath II two years later onto the building of the Austrian Economic Chamber (WKO) in Vienna.

[8][9] Furthermore, she is active as a director in the advertising industry and in her underwater art film series Under Surfaces.
