Daria Martin’s art practice includes filmmaking, writing, and costume and set design. Her work has primarily taken the form of 16mm films, which feel surreal, otherworldly and dream-like. She explores the complexities of seeing and being seen through the bodily movement of her actors and their interaction with costumes, props and places that seem simultaneously familiar and alien. Furthering her interest in scientific phenomena, Martin plans to spend her time at Headlands researching and writing her first feature-length screenplay called Empathy, a coming-of-age story which centers around a teenage boy with a rare neurological condition called mirror-touch synaesthesia. Martin has shown her work throughout the United States and extensively in Europe. She holds an MFA from UCLA and a BA from Yale University.
