Born 1996, Bucharest, RO. Lives and works in London, UK.
Catinca Malaimare is a London based artist and Royal Academy Schools graduate. Performing alongside anthropomorphised technologies, Malaimare’s choreography manifests our intimate relationship with photographic tools and the screens onto which they project our visages.
Catinca Malaimare is represented by Catinca Tabacaru Gallery.
