Finnish woman Iiu Susiraja calls herself an artist. She captures herself in very… very… unorthodox scenarios… We are kinda confused, is this art or not? Please leave your opinion in comments.

Amazing work! The compositions are perfect. I love the one with the breadloaf earlocks on the treadmill. Thanks Liu!
YES.
These are brilliantly original, masterfully bold, and visually striking!!
Very sad and depressed. I feel bad for her
It’s definitely art! These photos about the mood of Diane Arbus photos.
Imaginative. Love her artistic sense of humor.
Lock her in. She needs a straight jacket
This is definitely art! Extremely creative and even funny! We all need something to smile at during these difficult times.
Let’s release the tension and have a good laugh. If it’s or entertainment,I don’t know but it makes me smile.
yeah..its all good..imagine how boring it would be if we were all the same
Definitely art! Food for thought so to speak
I don’t know anything about art, but I know I love this woman!
No!
This is not art in my opinion, this is sad. I would hope to never see this in a muesuem ,but based on a lot of these comments one would ecpect to. I do not believe any of the masters would ever make that the subject of a painting and if so only as a joke.
This is art, but this is also terribly sad.
Looks like fun. Art is usually sadder.
Yes.
Oh, it’s art all right!
It is not necessarily beautiful, but it is wonderful and it IS art.
Andy Warhol would LOVE your work! And I love it BIG time. 🥂🍾 Here’s to unfettered, inspired creativity 🙏🏽
Fantastic photography on its own, the creative poses, props and compositions are next level
This is ready for Moma and Guggenheim .
Better than most of the excrement that goes for art these days. She does have creativity, sense of irony, humor and aesthetics.
It definitely is 😂
It’s art, because it has esthetics, expressivity and idea beyond each photo. I think we get amused about the specific shape of the woman’s body. Don’t you agree that if there was a supermodel instead everyone would all of a sudden find it pretty?
I love that picture with a cup on her breast.
I think these are brilliant. Reminds me of Steven Colbert’s upside down comedic satire in “The Colbert Report”….these are insanely bold, creative, and ballsy images – beautifully done!
Love, LOVE, LOVE! Beautiful woman.
Yes
it’s beautiful
Love it, so refreshing! thank you to keep the spirit alive .
Certainly entertaining.
But not “beautiful” by any stretch of the imagination (it really is a pity she’s so obese).
Art? Simply because her odd props are amusing, and the pics are well taken, doesn’t make it “art”.
It’s quirky photography, no more.
I’d say if the intention is to express oneself and create an emotional response in the viewer then its art. Without the first it’s just accidental, without the second it’s just a recording of something. To me these works qualify. Some are powerful.
Art-the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.
Even if it confuses you or you hate it can be considered. It stirred emotion in me and that is what art is supposed to do.
Yes it’s art, because it was made by an artist for the purposes of art. What’s there to be confused about?
Of course it’s art! Her images are carefully thought out, composed and crafted. They display many design principles.
absolutly art, courageous and wonderfully raw. respect.
some shots are absolutely Brilliant. YES this is ART!! Enjoyed Thanku for sharing
Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb it comfortable.
-Banksy
Beautiful; thought provoking; wonderfully crafted; revealing… visceral. Thank you to the artist.
Wonderful art
I have a doctorate in art history and I work as a museum curator. I have no reservations about calling these photos art. As others have stated, it has affinities with Dianne Arbus. I would add Cindy Sherman as a precedent. The images evoke intense emotional reactions that may encourage viewers to think deeply about a variety of ideas and assumptions.
yup! Dat art…
I love these so much. They are brilliant.
Anything not preoccupied with survival or reproduction is art on some level. Is it good art? No. It’s friggin Great! Charm, sadness, wit, irony, poetry.. it’s all here.
Great artist. Her art reminds me of the “One Minute Sculptures” by austrian artist Erwin Wurm.
How is this even a question? She has 2 Bachelors (one in textiles, one in Fine Arts Photography) and a Masters in Art, her collections portfolio is enviable and her exhibitions record clearly demonstrates that it is not just her claim to art, her work is recognised within the art world. The question is so behind the eightball – this is the sort of dumbass question people raised about Duchamp’s urinal – a better question might be: (how) does the work operate as social critique.
Totally art. It made me “feel” more than anything has for a while.
Love it……….
Inspirational…
How remarkable! As one comment says, her work is reminiscent of Diane Arbus. There is also some Magritte and Dali in the whimsy of her images, and with just enough of a splash of toxic irony and caustic self-deprecation to be utterly haunting and unforgettable. I’d love to share a feast with her, along with several liters of vodka.
