31 Jan-7 Apr 2019

Barbican Art Gallery
London EC2Y 8DS

Overview

Artist Daria Martin revisits dreams and memories from her personal family history to create a complex portrait of migration, loss and resilience. Drawing upon dream diaries kept by her grandmother over a 35 year period, London-based artist Daria Martin creates a new installation for The Curve. Through atmospheric film and gaming technology Martin stages a series of intimate encounters, enveloping viewers in an exploration of the curious and traumatic history of her grandmother, who fled the Holocaust.
