The aim of the project was to capture a very sensual collaboration of the human’s body and extreme emotions that expresses both the physical and spiritual harmony. It was to immortalise the beauty of shape, the purity of art and the uniqueness of existence.
Photographer’s job was to emotionally connect with the sitters to be able to recognise and understand what feelings each individual person and its connection to the body can express. At the same time each person involved must have had a clear understanding of the Photographers vision that was to deeply concentrate on emotion and the way it can be expressed through the body and its unique language.
Human’s body and its posture disclose both physical and mental mood and state of mind. All good and bad, happy and sad emotions can be read from people’s faces and the way we appear.
Passion / Desire / Excitement / Exhilaration / Pride / Loneliness / Apathy / Hopelessness / Tiredness
The Photographer’s aim was to touch all possible feelings and register a very emotional collaboration between herself as an observer and sitters as acting objects.
Photography has become a medium that let Marta express her analytical observations, dreams and fantasies. Her never-ending fascination of people creates a field that she can fill with moody, thoughtful and eye-catching light. She is annoyingly pedantic and brutally concentrated while she works to achieve her goals. Photography isn’t her job, it is a ‘soul-feeder’ – in other words something that let her breath.
During her continuing career, Marta was offered the opportunity to spearhead a large, independent archival project for Annie Leibovitz in New York in 2011. She then joined the Production Team and assisted Ms Leibovitz on set for shoots for Vogue and Vanity Fair. Her photographs have been shown several times in both group and solo exhibitions, including Mall Galleries in London, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, the MAC - Birmingham, as well as Verge Art Brooklyn and Leslie & Lohman Museum in New York. In 2014, Marta was invited to join the Daegu Biennial in South Korea. In August 2016 her Cognitive Bodies series won her an entrance to Berlin Photo Biennale.
