Her projects explore the relationship between memory and the body. Through memories and their reconstructions, she creates methods to work with the mediality of experience. She is interested in the relationship between nature and community in processes of healing, production and transformation. Her recent projects, such as Memory Carp, Intimacy of Waters and Sexinsitu, analyze individual and collective relationships with water and the ocean, entering the space of hydro-activism. In the land-use project Lack of Forest, she works in post-hurricane landscape. She transformed a mound of roots into a monumental sculpture that is subjected to overgrowth processes. Martyna uses video, performance, sound and more. She combines work with communities and institutions, folklore and science, myth and knowledge.She uses video, performance, sound and more. Her works are often in the form of series, collections, gestures, fragments of broader explorations.
