My name is Marija Slaidina and I am an emerging audiovisual artist from Riga, Latvia working with moving image and sound. During my studies in Art Academy of Latvia where I am studying in Faculty of Audio-Visual Media Art I have developed not only practical skills in different kinds of multimedial practices, such as photography, videography, graphic desing and sound, but also have mastered to generate and conceptualize my ideas trough all kind of media.
Using video, 2D and 3D digital graphics, photography and installation, I explore temporal structures and sensory perception, questioning how meaning is constructed through audiovisual experience.
My practice is rooted in experimentation, with an interest in contemporary artistic discourse, audiovisual and digital media.
