Mariana Bunimov

Biography

Born in 1972 in Caracas (Venezuela).
Lives and works in Paris (France).

The universe presented by Mariana Bunimov places the viewer in the middle of a crossroad where, without hierarchy or apparent connection, thousands of images hailing as much from her imaginary as from her daily life, cross paths.

Defying any kind of criteria or absolute, the eclectic nature of her world is also the reflection of the spirit of our time, the zeitgeist: a fragmented and hybrid world where the permanent flow of many different and divergent images and data converge in an ongoing immediacy that goes beyond any given geography or time-frame.

Through the accumulation, re-appropriation and transformation of bits and pieces of multiple realities, Bunimov creates an eclectic world within which coexist civilians disruption, childhood images, music, lovers, landscapes, modern ruins, personalities, martyrs, fashion, architecture, memories, hybrid-objects and hybrid-beings.

Mariana Bunimov's work has been exhibited at MAC Panama City, Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Zulia (Maracaibo), The Americas Society (New York), Museo de Bellas Artes (Caracas), Apexart (New York), Museo Laboratorio di Arte Contemporáneo (Roma) Museo de Arte de Maracay, Museo Alejandro Otero (Caracas), Museo de la Ciudad de México, La Colonie (Paris).
