Memories of Marina – Marina Vishmidt, 1976-2024
Marina’s intellectual practice truly constituted a form of praxis. Her work was always embodied and situated in a commonly sensed world. For all its conceptual rigour, it was as aesthetic as it was theoretical; it would be a grave mistake to paint Marina as some niche theorist who happened to specialize in writing about value or autonomy. Such notions were not discussed as pure concepts but experienced and actively problematized in various collaborative contexts—ranging from the “old” Jan van Eyck, to Casco, W.A.G.E. and Cinenova.
