BIO
Marianna Angel (b. 1995) is a miami-based visual artist, musician and writer. Her range of mediums intersect at multiple points, in collage, performance and video. Angel depicts intimate gazes into herself and glimpses into memories recalling ephemera. By employing devices of self portraiture, she creates a timeline of moments in suspension. Photography is at the core of her practice which is inherently a voyeuristic medium. By presenting herself as the artist an the subject, she is re-articulating th exhibitionist quality of being photographed. Angel is still present in her non figurative work as the products of her practice are cataloged diary entries.
STATEMENT
My work deals with the idea of lost identity and how it changes as circumstances evolve around us. These circumstances in particular have been intimate relationships, platonic and romantic. The work transforms from nostalgia to multiple intertwining timelines and I intersect myself in many forms. I am gradually diving deeper into the vagueness of identity. Performance has in a sense allowed a passageway for ego death, creating a personal trance like state in which I separate from my ”flesh prison." But it is no longer about me and my history, instead an opening, a clear but ominous path about something that is hollow and yet to be inhabited. At its core, my practice explores the interconnectedness of the human experience.
