Susanne Kutter works with various media and formats, including installation, performance, sculpture, photography and video. Her work often deals with the catastrophic relationship between nature and culture and the loss of safety and intimacy in everyday life. In this context, Kutter reflects on the changing role of women in Western societies over the past decades and the increasing disappearance of the middle classes, traditionally associated with educational and cultural values.
