Susanna Wallin's Electric Organ Film Lizzy Shortlisted for 2025 Aesthetica Art Prize
Susanna Wallin's video artwork, Lizzy, has been nominated for the 2025 Aesthetica Art Prize. This project was inspired by an electric organ she received from her neighbor Lizzy in Tampa, Florida, which generated chaotic sounds perceived as a memory pressure wave. Wallin's work spans film, sound, and performance, delving into themes of consciousness and attention. She views editing as a means to reflect on the past. Residing in Florida, she captures the swamp's landscape and records vibrations from both light and sound in the Sulphur Springs region. Additionally, Wallin is crafting a unique scriptwriting method based on her filmed content. The Aesthetica Art Prize Exhibition is on display at York Art Gallery until January 25, 2025.
