Suzan Noesen’s practice dwells on the nuances in the correlation between individual and collective perception, and its influence on the conception and expression of the self, focusing on psychosocial heritage, the interplay of presence and absence, (in)visibility, gestural language, or the nature of the body. Both embedding and confronting worldviews and social paradigms, she counterpoints the intimacy of everyday subjects with reflections inpired by social sciences, philosophy, history, and politics. Her practice explores the performative positionality and the body’s gestures at the interface between ‘hidden spaces’ and a ‘stage’. Her works play with conceptual, metaphorical, and sensual analogies materialised through skin- or film-like media – painting, photography, or video –, and presented on translucent or transparent materials, textiles, and screens. Assembled into installations, her displays create a constant, receptive oscillation between experience and observation by combining elusive images with physicality and material textures.
