ARTIST BIO

Mariana Hahn’s work poetically interrogates the concept of human fate, story telling and language through the use of photography, performance and video.

Believing that ‘weaving’ can be a metaphor for self-autonomy, her practice is based on thinking of the body as a bearer of continuously woven narratives and that the human being too takes part in making fate, making story. She understands making story as an active, conscious and physical act.

She often uses textiles to take the place of the human body, the textile itself becoming the narrative of a living archive.
