Marta Hryniuk and Nick Thomas
UK
Overview
Martha Hryniuk and Nick Thomas reveal the delicate creative process between two artists who, coming from the visual arts, found in cinema a space for expansion and reflection. Their work emerges from a deep connection with memory and time, where stories are not told linearly, but instead through fragments, silences, and gestures. The camera becomes a tool to record the unsaid and capture the essence of the invisible. Through a collective gaze, memories are constructed, destroyed, and transformed. In their cinema, the process is both a collaboration and an act of surrender: a journey toward trust, forgetting, and revelation.
