SUZY LOVE
Suzy, you are an an allround-talent. How would you
describe yourself as an artist? Who is Suzy Love?
I am a woman with a free spirit. Outwards with great
desire. Yes, i am someone who likes the limelight.
Someone who loves very much the music and photography.
That is why i choosed word LOVE!
Love is my creative driving force. I love of all the beautiful
things around me. Convince me, let them manifest
and then put it to my own art. Sometimes in music
, sometimes in fashion, sometimes in photography ...
my personal menage a trois.
You you end up in the early 80s, in a roundabout way, in
Berlin. How have you experienced the time back then?
Berlin was at this time: the place to be!
Berlin is always the place to be. For some people just
for a short time. For me Berlin has become my second
home. But yes, you’re right, that was a unique situation.
The East-West conflict, the Cold War, the wall. A city
divided in two. Communism to capitalism. It was very
difficult for me to understand what it is about. What’s
going on. At the beginning I was afraid of the city.
A party chased the next. Berlin - Kreuzberg. We were
dancing on tables. I worked in a trendy disco „The
Jungle. It was like dancing on a volcano. The city was
boiling, we were on an island surrounded by the wall.
And of course that was: the place to be for many artist.
It was a very creative time ... oh .. now I feel a sentimental
nostalgia. All of that was also romantic.
ou are singing, you are taking pictures and you worked
as asuccessfully model. What came first?
Nothing of that. First I wanted to study fashion design.
I’ve always loved fashion. I have done sewn, knitted,
crocheted, glued, no matter what, important was: it
looks cool and it does not have anybody. Very simply
no jeans and t-shirt, The clothes were bad done,
they survite sometime just one party..Then came the
modeling. I have done more in between. I have done
photography always but I never had a good camera. A
year ago I got my Canon. It is my new love and I always
kiss my camera. (She laughs)
How would you describe your music?
