Maria Burundarena

Maria Burundarena was born in Paris, France, and grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She is currently based in Chicago, USA.

She is a visual artist and educator who has developed work as a textile designer and photographer printing different narratives in diverse objects and environments such as garments, sculptures, installations and LED screens.

Maria's work is currently focused on installations using large scale photographs, light projection and reflective materials.
Like water and light, the image is something that is flexible and does not have a frame or a shape. While contouring the spaces that are given, Maria explore the boundaries of the image as a material itself. Looking to question our relationship to how we experience and understand what we are seeing, our depth of feeling.
