Susanna Wallin is an artist and filmmaker engaged in questions regarding what to do with our time, our bodies and the tools we are given to live a life. Through moving image, sound and performance she probes subject matter across diverse contexts and timescales, often immersing herself in a particular place over extended periods to explore habit, energy, memory and experimentation. She is attentive to what emerges over time, together and open-ended, speculating across notions of reality and fiction while lending an ear to the unspoken.
Her films are shown in cinema and gallery contexts and have appeared in venues such as MOCA LA, The American Cinematheque, The Barbican, Whitechapel Gallery, The London Underground, ICA and the British Film Institute, with recent retrospectives of her short films at Oberhausen Kurz Film Tage in 2025 and Vilnius Film Festival in 2026 and recent solo show Trickster’s Wake at Medūza Gallery in 2026. She has been the recipient of numerous awards including The Flamin London Artist Film and Video Award, New Approaches, Film London UK, Pure Fiction, Sweden with commissions from the UK Film Council, Channel 4, BBC, Arts Council England, Arte France/Germany, SVT, Sweden and the BFI in the UK. Born in Sweden, she studied filmmaking, visual art and philosophy at University of the Arts London and Goldsmiths College in the UK. She lives and works between London and Tampa, Florida.
