Bio
Susanne Schwieter is a Swiss artist based in Berlin.Working across painting, sculpture and image-based processes, she investigates how images transform as they move between digital and physical systems. Her works evolve through repeated translation—from found digital images to pigment prints, paintings and powder-coated aluminium sculptures—exploring movement, memory and perception as unstable forms rather than fixed representations.
Born in Basel, Switzerland, she studied stage design and fine art at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Karl Kneidl and Klaus Rinke, graduating as Meisterschülerin in 1997.
