Marina Chernikova is a multimedia artist living in Amsterdam and Moscow. She holds an MFA in painting from Moscow State Fine Art Academy and Master of Media Arts from the University of Portsmouth. Her photographical and video works are based on the exploration of the kinetic visual structures of megalopolises of various cultural traditions and on the investigation of memory as a dynamic process of human consciousness.
