Marla Jacarilla

Visual artist, writer and film critic. She works by means of various techniques such as writing, performance, short films and video installations, using them as a testing ground for creating stories. She constantly seeks out links between visual art, new technologies and literature, to develop a fragmented narrative, sprinkled with fiction, which the viewer is invited to reconstruct.

Editor at Contrapicado magazine. Contributor to artistic, literary and cinematographic publications such as Paesaggio, A*Desk, Caiman Cuadernos de cine, Culturaca, Miradas de cine, Cortosfera, Sala 1 or PliegoSuelto, among others.
