Martina Stella, born in Trieste, Italy, in 1992, lives and works in Paris.

Graduated in Photography and contemporary art at Paris 8 University, she is currently working as an audiovisual artist and technician. She is specialized in video projection techniques: Video mapping as a symbolic form has been the subject of her master’s researches, in which esthetic theory comes with solid technical knowledge and practical artistic research.

Martina Stella’s work inhabits the exhibition space through installation, projections and drawing, which is the first step of the image conception and evolution in space. Martina practice occurs in a back-and-forth movement, where in-betweenness state and interdependence relationships play a fundamental role: her attention is drawn towards what takes places between the drawing and the support, between the image and the environment. She reflects on the images of the untold and the unspeakable, stating and claiming the impossibility of language through her practice of unreadable writing. In asemic writing, the abstract calligraphy Stella practices, signs are unreadable yet charged of meaning: between writing and drawing, the limits of the image relate to the limits of language. The written sign becomes the fundamental unit, the actual medium to question our relation to time and space.
