Adriana Marmorek
Bio
Adriana Marmorek was born in Bogotá in 1969. She developed her career around publicity and television, from which she would later borrow certain elements and rethink them through the artistic practice. She earned a Masters in Plastic and Visual Arts from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia.
Marmorek began as a sculptor, later expanding her horizons toward other mediums such as photography, video, installation, and most importantly, what she defines as “Architecture of the Desire,” an investigation exploring concepts of desire and pleasure using erotic, social, historical and human elements. This is an evolutionary and contemporary concept that defines the parameters of the artist’s creative activity and constitutes a sociological analysis about desire in our world.
Statement
Adriana Marmorek’s work explores desire and pleasure as central forces shaping human experience. Beyond the erotic, her practice incorporates social, historical, and cultural elements, inviting spectator participation. Mirrors, rooms, windows, and projections serve as tools for introspection and interaction, completing the work. Her approach connects personal experience with broader artistic and sociocultural traditions.
