Biography

Marina Faust began to work at the age of 18 as a photo reporter in Vienna. Between 1974 and 1975 she collaborated with Magnum agency, Paris. In 1977 she specialized in architectural and interior photography. Her photographic works have been shown in Paris at Galerie Agathe Gaillard in the 1980s. Her photo series, personal visions on the work and personality of other artists, are regularly published in French art magazine Frog. She has been working as a photographer with Maison Martin Margiela since 1990.^[1][2] Marina Faust defines for herself the space of publication (magazines, newspapers, books) as a space of perception and therefore an artistic space. Her photos, texts and projects have been published in numerous magazines.

In 1995 she expanded her artistic practice into other disciplines by first creating an ongoing series of short autobiographic videos. Her body of work today includes videos, collages, objects, photo reliefs and photography. She was an invited artist at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts,^[3] Paris, in 2000-2001. Her group of traveling chairs, first shown at Song Song, Vienna in 2007, is installed at the CAT Contemporary Art Tower, Vienna.

Her videos, objects and photo works have been shown in Japan, Korea, the US and throughout Europe.
