Daria Martin

Daria Martin’s films create continuity between disparate artistic media (such as painting and performance), between people and objects, and between internal and social worlds. Human gesture meets mannered artifice to pry loose viewers’ learned habits of perception.

Subjects such as robots, an archive of dream diaries and an artist who refuses to eat are explored within isolated spaces such as homes, laboratories, theatres and academies that are, in Martin’s imagining, full of seams and shadows. One might see these as standing in for the capacities of the film medium itself, a permeable container that consumes and recycles the world at large.

Daria is now transitioning to creating arthouse feature films.
