ABOUT

In her personal work she is interested in the sense of place, which she often translates into pictures that oscillate between outer and inner landscapes.

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 investigating the notion of home in communities around the world, facing ecological dislocation.

Besides working on her longterm documentary projects she also works on Editorial Assignments for Magazines and NGO´s.

She is generally interested in topics regarding environmental issues such as climate change, climate research, water protection, sustainability aswell as aspects of migration and empowerment.
