Clubber Spotlight: Hannah Sommer

"I am a photographer and visual artist from Asheville, NC. I moved to London to study photography and ended up there for nearly 7 years and now reside back in NC. I create images inspired by dreams and odd characters and enjoy creating surreal worlds. I also recently started upcycling clothes and have a small brand called Mass Psychosis.

"I’ve been documenting anything and everything since early high school and really fell in love with the process of film photography when I started Uni in London and continue to develop film in the bathtub. I love the creativity of fashion but dislike the inaccessibility and unsustainability in the greater fashion world. It was in the UK that I came into myself as an artist and began working with sustainable fashion designers and small brands. I try to repurpose materials and found objects for my sets and really love the hand-on process of creating an image and enjoy experimenting with printmaking.

"Earth Expression was created as a music video for London-based musician and artist Minou Nombreuse. Minou has such an ethereal voice and energy and I was really inspired by both of Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights music videos and Laurie Anderson’s O Superman videos for this.
Just Minou and I comprised the team for this video. We shot this together around Hampstead Heath in London.

"I’m currently working on putting some group exhibitions together in my hometown of Asheville, North Carolina, and am continuing to develop some personal projects and short films. I have some exciting work coming up with my hometown friend and musical artist Indigo De Souza."
