Malina Mayer (1993*) is a photographer and sociologist – mostly oscillating between these two spheres. She is based between Lisbon, Portugal and the rural region of Münster, North-Western Germany.
The dream-like and at times eerie aesthetics of her photographs play with what eludes (our) consciousness. Drawing from (auto-) ethnographic methods, her long-term projects reflect upon the relation between memory and identity. Mayer predominantly works and experiments with analogue techniques continuously aiming to find new ways to bring the materiality of her works in conversation with the stories told.
She completed her studies in Sociology, Politics and Economics (B.A.) at Zeppelin Universität, Friedrichshafen before further pursuing a degree in Photography and Urban Cultures (M.A.) at Goldsmiths College, University of London.
