life and work
Pia Maria Martin studied from 1997 to 2003 at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart. The focus of her artistic field of activity is the animated film. Their animated films, which are created through individual image switching ( stop motion ) and the use of non-digital techniques ( 16 mm film ), explore and show the construction mechanisms of the medium of film and the associated interplay of image and sound as well as editing and lighting.
Martin combines the brilliant colors of the 16 mm material and the recourse to the tradition of animated films , which still do without digital effects, with animated protagonists from our everyday world, thus creating opulent images and surreal scenes that reflect the world of cinema and its effects. Her short films combine the funny and the cryptic: a slaughtered, plucked chicken sews itself back together, folding chairs march up in a mass parade, an old-master still life rots in fast motion.
Pia Maria Martin has been Professor of Video and Moving Image at Villa Arson in Nice since 2013 .
