Fanny Rosell (b. 1995) is a documentary filmmaker and artist based in Stockholm. Her work explores the relationship between people and the spaces they inhabit, often focusing on architecture, place, and everyday social environments.
Working in the intersection between documentary and artistic practice, she uses participatory and process-based methods to capture the subtle and unpredictable moments that reveal human connection to space and structure.
