After theater studies at ETI, Berlin, Mariana Hahn obtained a degree in Visual Arts at Central Saint Martins, London, in 2012. Her practice, mixing photography, video, writing, and installation, explores the relationship between the body and the transmission of memory and knowledge. Hair, salt, and copper constitute the basic elements of her research into the materials and processes of image- and archive-making, as well as the various media of conservation. Her work has mainly been presented in Germany (notably at Display in 2019) and in China.
