Marina Cavadini (1988, Milan) is a visual artist based in Milan. Her practice is guided by theoretical research that informs her use of various techniques and materials. With a surreal and erotic tone, their work invites one to experience the post-natural realm as a viscous dimension that tends to gratify but simultaneously unsettles. Tactile and intimate experiences are to be perceived in terms of intensity. Close-ups and static poses follow one another without a narrative; there is no beginning or end. When meaning is not subordinate to the concept, subjects and visual impressions are amplified. Awe for textures and details induces an alteration of consciousness and evokes the drifting and disjointed nature of the present experience.
