Marina Gurman

She holds a degree in Combined Arts (film – theatre – dance) and is a comprehensive filmmaker in Cinema and TV. Since 2015, she has been a professor of Cinematic Art Direction at ENERC. In Buenos Aires, she has alternated between her work as an art director in film and as a designer and producer for visual arts exhibitions. She recently relocated to Barcelona. Marina considers herself a polyglot of expression, using various languages while feeling foreign in each of them.

Her work explores themes related to inhabiting and the construction of relational spaces through jewelry, literature, and audiovisual mediums. By inhabiting and moving from one language to another, she allows herself to build thoughts using different frameworks that coexist, intertwine, and never quite settle into one form. Her inquiries into the house, home, the act of inhabiting, and intimacy with objects and subjects originated with a key experience: the dissolution of the house-as-home.

She asks: how can the memories we archive in a house, in boxes, become activated and turn into a future? What are the materials of uncertainty? What forms do they take? For Marina, moving from one place to another, from one material to another, from one language to another, is a way of building metaphors.

Marina will be in residence during the months of September and October 2025.
