Susanne Stoop: Although I love black and white photography - creating dark and brooding images, expressing a bleak look into the void, a primal fear and melancholy - I often use colours in my photography as to emphases the absurd, the surreal I am looking for.
My themes are: portraits of windows, portraits of people, portraits of empty chairs, beach cabins, street photography and conceptual photography. The Italian city Ferrara is important theme. The photographs I took over there are based on the novels of the Italian author Giorgio Bassani (1916-2000). He tells a melancholic story about exclusion, isolation, closed doors, desolation, loneliness, existential fears. I worked for seven years on this project and has now published a book called “The Ferrara Streetbook. A walk in the footsteps of Giorgio Bassani”.
I am now working on a photo book about war graves of the Great War in Belgium and Northern France.
Like the Ferrara images, they are all in black and white.
My style is influenced by the compositions of Mondriaan.
Since 2008 I had various exhibitions and won some prizes in an international photo contest. Besides working in my home town, The Hague, Amsterdam and other Dutch cities, I worked in Poland, Israel, Norway, Italy, Belgium, Romania, France, Norway and Berlin.
My home town is Vlaardingen - near Rotterdam - but since many years I am living in Leiden.
