Marta Djourina
Discover more on this artist
Berlin-based artist Marta Djourina, originally from Sofia, uses light phenomena as a medium in her photographic practice. Drawing on historical techniques, she explores the concept of touch by creating photographic performances, transferring movements directly onto photo paper with various mobile light sources. Through this gestural, almost painterly approach, she breathes energy into the photographic process.
And the winner of the EMOPArendt Award 2025 is… MartaDjourina!
On 15 May 2025, artist Marta Djourina won the European Month of Photography Arendt Award. Selected by a panel of professional curators, her work was recognised for its creativity, dynamism, and fresh perspective on contemporary photography. Congratulations!
