Marlene Marino (Virginia, United States) studied art and philosophy in New York before launching her photographic practice in 1999. Her first exhibition was at American Fine Arts, NY – curated by Colin De Land. Marino recently published the project Cuba 2009, as a special edition for Purple Fashion Magazine, with whom she contributes regularly.
Influenced by the French Nouvelle Vague, the avant-guard post-war photo and cinema movement of the 1940’s-70’s Japan, Marino’s micro-narratives blur the line between past and present. And not in a melancholy, nostalgic way, but by actually bringing it into the future.
