Susanne Hefti (born 1984 in Münsterlingen, Switzerland) is an artist and currently a PhD candidate at the Institute for History and Theory of Architecture at ETH Zurich. Within her research-based work, Susanne Hefti investigates spatial relations in the context of politics, architecture and urban planning. With an extended notion of documentary photography, using also video, writings and archival findings, artistic and scientific research merge in her work. In her long-term project Unsound Trajectories (2014-18), for example, she has dealt with the urban changes in the northern Macedonian capital Skopje, which are witnesses to political ideologies. Susanne Hefti studied art and photography at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen and at the Zurich University of the Arts. She previously completed an apprenticeship in banking and a journalism and communications degree in Winterthur. She worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Cultural Studies in the Arts at the Zurich University of the Arts, as an assistant in the bachelor's programme in art and communication at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and as a journalist for various media. Hefti has exhibited internationally and has published two publications. For her work Susanne Hefti received, among others, the Grenzgänger Scholarship, the Award for Photography of the International Lake Constance Conference as well as the Wüstenrot Award for Documentary Photography.
