Maryia Kamarova is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice is situated on the borders of performing arts, scenography, sound and installation art. She is interested in creating spatial settings that foster a sense of curiosity and attention toward everydayness. By staging and repurposing commonplace objects and technology, Kamarova’s works emphasize material agency and creative capacities of the nonhuman world.
Maryia approaches sound as a time-based medium, drawing inputs from collaborations with things, environments and other people. She continuously develops autonomous electro-acoustic objects, assembling found materials with analogue electronics. Taking on a role of facilitator, she then lets them temporarily inhabit the sites of performances and installations.
Kamarova is part of PYL collective which creates object based performances and installations since 2018. PYL’s practice explores the borders of anthropocentric perception in a dialog with material, by making ironic attempts to grasp nonhuman agency. The group devlops unique performative language by applying DIY methods and recycling principles, extending means and meaning of scenography far beyond theatre stage.
She is currently part of Q-O2 art team and lives and works in Brussels. Maryia was born in 1998 in Minsk, Belarus.
