Catinca Malaimare
CATINCA MALAIMARE (b. 1996, Bucharest, Romania)
Catinca Malaimare is a London-based Romanian artist and graduate of The Royal Academy of Arts. Performing alongside anthropomorphised technologies, Malaimare’s choreography manifests our intimate relationship with photographic tools and the screens onto which they project our visages.
Malaimare’s work has recently been acquired into the permanent collection of ING Global Art.
