The artist lives and works in Los Angeles. Additionally to her own films, she will present a slide-show of selected paintings, drawings and, behind the scenes photographs concerning her films.

The video artist Pia Maria Martin, born in 1974 in Altdorf near Nuremberg, lives and works in Stuttgart. In her work, she looks at seemingly insignificant objects and familiar processes. With a series of individual pictures of the objects in
various states, the artist gives them life. Events take their course and it appears as though an unstoppable process has been set in motion in which the objects have taken control. The combination of surreal and realistic elements creates a
tension between aesthetics and unease, between comedy and tragedy.
