About this work
Description
Daria Martin's 16mm visual arts films are described by the artist as designed "to create a continuity or parity between disparate artistic media (such as painting and performance), between people and objects, and between internal and social worlds. Human gesture and seductive imagery meet physically mannered artifice to pry loose viewers' learned habits of perception. Mistranslation opens holes for imagination to enter or exit". Beautifully executed on 16mm colour film, they are textually rich yet hypnotic and unnerving in content.
