Born in 1973, Daria Martin is an American artist who has been based in London since 2002. Her practice is defined by a rigorous engagement with 16mm film, a medium she utilizes to investigate the boundaries between internal psychological states and external social worlds.

Her work frequently examines the relationships between disparate artistic disciplines, often incorporating elements of dance, painting, and sculpture into her cinematic narratives. Through these films, she addresses the tension between subject and object, creating immersive visual experiences that bridge historical artistic traditions with contemporary film techniques.

Martin has achieved significant international recognition, with solo exhibitions at institutions including the Barbican and the New Museum. Her work continues to be featured in major surveys, such as the 2026 exhibition New Humans: Memories of the Future at the New Museum in New York.
