ANOTHER WORLD OUT THERE

Susannah Stracer''s ''Another world out there'' spans over three decades of outdoors photography. Although her main subject is people, it would be a mistake to call it social. No stories are being told, no deeper context is suggested. A split secondof reality is captured and being transported into the universe of aesthetics. Susannah doesn''t participate, she doesn''t interfere - she takes scenes from the everyday outdoors and elevates them into the higher reality of light and shadow, lines and surfaces; turns them into magic by the touch of a knob, the opening of a shutter. That''s what witches do; that''s what alchemists do - that''s what photograpers do.
