SYNDICATION by Laif
 
 
ABOUT
 
Marzena is interested in the identity of places. Her work revolves around the "sense of place", which she often translates into pictures that oscillate between outer and inner landscapes.
In her personal work she investigates the space "in between" within it`s meanings.
 
Lately, her fascination for remote and inaccessible environments has brought her to the North, where she explores the intimate lives and persistence of people in isolated places. Due to her personal background, Marzena is interested in the notion of home. Especially in communities around the world, facing ecological dislocation.
 
 
Besides working on her longterm documentary projects she also works on Editorial Assignments for Magazines,  Agencies, NGO`s and Organisations. In her editorial work she is interested in topics regarding environmental issues such as the climate crisis, climate research, water protection, sustainability aswell as aspects of migration and empowerment.
