About

Emilia Martin is an artist passionate about storytelling and myths, primarily working with photography, sound, and writing. She grew up between two radically different realities: a remote farm belonging to her grandmother in rural Eastern Poland and Silesia, a heavily industrial coal-mining urban region in the West. The clash between these realities—patriarchy and extractivism versus rural mythologies and the sublime—created a space where she felt at home and continues to inspire her artistic practice. In her work, Emilia explores the power of speculation and reimagining the realities she inhabits. She sees myths, tales, and storytelling as effective tools for revisiting the past and weaving futures she wishes to inhabit.

I saw a tree bearing stones in the place of apples and pears" is an exploration of a meteorite as a carrier of stories, a migratory body, a silent, mysterious visitor, full of projections and dreams of something bigger and more profound than what I know.
