Judith Stenneken

I am a visual artist working in photography, video installations & photo books. I am currently based in Berlin and New York.

In my work, I use moving and still images of the journey and the voyager. I explore transitory spaces like hotel rooms and airports to describe a world characterized by movement and change. The concepts of departure and arrival dissolve as the traveler keeps moving - a gravity to constant change. The voyager's home becomes the hotel room, the airplane, and the airport. Spaces to pause, never to dwell.

As we stand before today’s transforming world, we are often left with a profound sense of uncertainty. Much of my time is spent wondering how we can move through these changes with openness and tenderness instead of fear.

In times when change feels overwhelmingly like loss, photographing change as transformation, as a continuous way of becoming, leaves me with a sense of grounding and agency, for I am reminded that nothing is set in stone and even a mountain is only a slow wave.
