Marina Višić (b. 1987, Roermond) is a visual artist and filmmaker whose work moves between perception, tactility, and rhythm. With a background in fine art and a Master of Fine Art from the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London (2016), Visic’s practice has evolved from intricate material compositions to a cinematic language grounded in texture, light, and movement.
Her artistic practice is a deeply personal exploration of the poetic and existential quest for transcendence. Through the moving image, she investigates the boundaries of consciousness and the intricate terrain of inner worlds. What begins as an observation of light, rhythm, or surface often transforms into an intimate reflection on presence and disappearance.
Early works were built layer by layer, with a near-neurotic precision: thousands of threads and colour strands woven into geometric structures that balanced vulnerability and restraint. Over time, these tangible surfaces transformed into moving images, where liquid, reflections, and flickering light evoke a sense of melancholy and suspended emotion.
Visic’s installations often play with the physical presence of the viewer. Large-scale projections or clustered screens create an intimate confrontation, making the viewer aware of their own position in space and of the fragile threshold between image and body. The work demands presence while simultaneously unsettling it, forming a choreography between stillness and unease.
Visic has exhibited her work internationally in both solo and group exhibitions, including the Noordbrabants Museum, Kers Gallery, University College London, and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Tokyo.
