Catinca Malaimare is a Romanian-born London based artist. Malaimare received an MA from the Royal Academy Schools in 2022. Performing alongside anthropomorphised technologies, Malaimare’s choreography takes the form of performance, sculpture, audio and film, revealing our intimate relationship with technological tools. Using poetic, spiritual gestures, Malaimare facilitates ephemeral, fleeting moments which acknowledges our technological co-dependence.
