Marina Lattuca

Marina Lattuca was born in 1999 in Rio de Janeiro, where she studied Journalism. In 2017 she deepened her studies on art at a residency at the Sommerakademie Venedig, in Venice, Italy. Ever since her childhood she has cultivated ambiguous relations with crowds - sometimes enjoying its excitement, and sometimes feeling extremely dizzy about it. Therefore the presence of crowded and grotesque organisms is a constant in her work. The violence and tenderness present in the troubled relations that are formed in the excess of bodies, sometimes disputing space, interest her immensely. In 2019, she developed an artistic immersion held in partnership with UN Brazil for Venezuelan refugees, the result of the project was an exhibition called Los Nudos Del Mundo that took place at SESC. Combining different mediums such as writing, sewing, painting and drawing, she has been developing research on personal archetypes and creating her own mythology. Currently, she is developing a series of wearable pieces that represent each character of her mythology.
