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. 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 2026 and a solo exhibition at Medūza Gallery in Vilnius 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 and was a finalist for the Aesthetica Art Price in 2025 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 and raised 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.
