Stories should not just be told. They should be experienced.
Artist Statement
I'm Marina, a Zurich-based artist creating stories, worlds and interactive experiences that unfold across both physical and digital space.
Since 2012, my work has grown from stickers and characters in public space into immersive worlds where imagination, storytelling and participation come together. Through projects such as the Alien Universe, Memory Portals and Side Effect, I invite people to explore, participate and become part of the story. My work explores how art can create connection, spark curiosity and transform the way we experience the world around us.
While each project takes a different form, they all share the same goal: to create moments of wonder, discovery and connection.
The Story
It all started with a sticker — a small character quietly finding its way into the world.
The first alien character was born. Not yet inspired by real people — this one simply had to come out of my head.
An interactive treasure hunt turning the city into a playground for stories.
Step beyond the surface and discover the story hidden within each portrait — a new layer waiting to be found.
Entire scenes and worlds brought to life through augmented reality — adding new layers of story to reality itself.
What started as separate experiments slowly grew into one vast, wonderfully otherworldly universe — a world all its own.
Turning personal memories into interactive experiences that can be revisited forever.
