About
Why this artist matters now
Susan Hefuna creates photographic, video, and installation work that investigates how bodies move through and perceive architectural space. Born in Germany in 1962, she engages directly with the built environment, examining the relationship between physical structure and embodied experience. Her multidisciplinary approach treats architecture not as static backdrop but as a dynamic field of perception and spatial encounter.
