Visual artist Marta Azparren works across experimental cinema, live arts, and drawing. She holds a degree in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid and a master’s degree in Contemporary Film and Audiovisual Studies from Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. She was a resident fellow at the Spanish Academy in Rome in 2022, with an experimental film project.

Azparren’s work proposes a meta-reflection on artistic practice, with particular attention to the connections between creator, spectator, artwork, and the internal machinery of mediation, production, and exhibition. Her gaze also turns toward the non-visual within the visual—what tends to disappear. Her audiovisual proposals often move toward expanded cinema, live editing, spoken cinema, or video installation, and have been shown at Cineteca Matadero, Museo CA2M, Festival Domingo (La Casa Encendida), Xcèntric CCCB, La Virreina, La Capella, Europalia, Círculo de Bellas Artes, the Spanish Academy in Rome, Arts Santa Mònica, Festival de Otoño (Madrid), Triennale di Milano, Istanbul Biennial, Werkleitz – Centre for Media Art, the Spanish Cultural Center in Mexico, Art Beijing, and festivals such as LOOP, Madrid Film Festival, New Media Film (LA), DFA’s Dance on Camera (NY), Videoformes, Kassel Dokfest, Strangloscope, CineToro, Les Instants Vidéo, Zebra Poetry Film, among many others. She has published the essay Blind Cinema: Stopping the Flow of Images, on monochrome cinema and images without images, with Libros de la Resistencia (2nd ed., May 2023).
