After studying at Yale University where she explored the relationship between cinema, art, literature, and music, Daria Martin (born 1973 in San Francisco, lives and works in London) has resolutely opted for making films. Borrowing from a universe of everyday popular references (sport, games, shows, etc.), in her work she combines elements from avant-garde dance and cinema with a formidable formal elegance. Without falling into the trap of being seduced by the forms, movements, and abstract themes that she uses and one could make her own the words of Jacques Rancière about political work, in the sense that it reveals a distribution of sensitivity in the social sphere. .

About this title

Synopsis

Since studying at Yale University, where she explored the relationship between cinema, art, literature and music, and then UCLA, where she received her M.F.A., Daria Martin, an American artist based in London, has begun to make films. Borrowing from a universe of everyday popular references (sport, games, shows, etc.), she combines elements from avant-garde dance and cinema with a formidable formal elegance. She evades the trap of being seduced by the forms, movements and abstract themes that she uses, instead relying on Jacques RanciÀre's insistence that political work reveal a "distribution of sensitivity in the social sphere." Martin has exhibited at Hotel, London, and Andrea Rosen Gallery, New York.
