About Benita

Benita Suchodrev was born in Tbilisi, Georgia and immigrated to the United States where she received her Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts with a focus on Art History continuing to a Master of Arts in English Literature, graduating with high honors. In 2008 Benita relocated to Berlin and began an extensive documentation of the cosmopolitan city’s multifaceted art scene while working on diverse photographic projects.

Her photographs have been published in the books “Of Lions and Lambs” (Kehrer 2019), “48 Hours Blackpool” (Kehrer 2018), “Nachtleben Berlin: 1974 bis heute” (Metrolit 2013) and “Berlin Now” (teNeues 2009) and have been covered by various television, radio and print media including Arte, The guardian, Zeit Online, ARD, Rbb24 Kulturradio, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Amica Italy, Art, Mare Magazine, Stern.de, Berliner Zeitung, Die Tageszeitung, Tagesspiegel, Neues Deutschland, MIND China, The Moscow Times, among others. Her awarded portrait and documentary works have been exhibited in solo and group shows nationally and internationally and are part of stately and private Collections. Benita is a member of the photographer’s agency FOCUS. She lives and works in Berlin.

“My work is concerned primarily with the human subject. I am attracted to the poetic and the bizarre, the bold and the vulnerable, with little interest for strict documentation or sensation. I work intuitively with great regard for authenticity, spontaneity and the transitional moment; that elusive split of a second between what has passed, what is to come and the traces it leaves behind. The drama and ambiguity of human expression and gesture in that transitional moment is what fascinates me the most.”

During the Rencontres d’Arles photography festival, Leica Camera AG and the Professional Association of Freelance Photographers and Film Creators (BFF) are organizing a variety of talks by internationally renowned photographers and artists.

Exhibition Le bal infernal 

11 October 2024 - 26 January 2025

Vernissage 10 October 2024, 18:00

FOTOGRAFISKA Berlin
Oranienburger Str. 54
10117 Berlin

Mo - So: 10 – 23

In the labyrinth of Berlin club culture, labels and limitations disappear. For over 30 years, Berlin has been a space of possibility in which quite a few people have invented a new life, a new identity. Berlin's nightlife, with its ever-evolving club culture, mirrors the city’s constant transformation. It thrives in the in-between spaces – places that offer freedom by escaping the established order outside their walls.

On 10 October 2024, Fotografiska Berlin will open the exhibition Le bal infernal 2008-2024, Benita Suchodrev's long-term study that captures the fleeting moments and unique characters that make up the soul of Berlin.

»A complex pictorial-psychological investigation into a disenchanted reality and the nature of being,reminiscent of the cinema of Federico Fellini and the black-and-white English films of 1960s’ social realism.« (Mark Gisbourne, Art historian, Critic, Curator)

»Intoxicating and authentic, Suchodrev’s narratives could be a daydream-like film told through stills, as in Arthur Schnitzler’s Dream Story or the work of Jim Jarmusch.« (Matthias Harder, Curator, Helmut Newton Foundation)
