Susanna Chang (b. 1999) is a Japanese Korean American artist using photography to create gently surreal and lyrical images of the everyday theaters of modern life. Born in Maine, she moved to Tokyo at age 12 and began taking photos soon after, becoming interested in Japanese aesthetics. She pursued her curiosity for aesthetic theories and histories and received a BA in art history (with a focus in twentieth century Japanese photography) and English literature from Columbia University in 2022, where she also studied darkroom techniques with Emily Askey. She currently works as a graphics and administrative assistant at Film Forum and has been a teaching assistant at the International Center of Photography for their advanced darkroom printing courses for the past year with Jim Megargee. She currently employs both digital and analog processes. Seeking to foreground the optical nature of photography in her work, she creates naturalistically observed yet stylized images with strong formal compositions that aim to tantalize and provoke in their mundane beauty.
