Malerie Marder
Malerie Marder (born 1971 in Philadelphia, USA, lives and works in Los Angeles) explores intimacy, desire and the psychology of looking through staged photographs of the human body. Drawing on the visual language of cinema, her images often depict friends, family members or herself in ambiguous, psychologically charged situations. Balancing intimacy and voyeurism, Marder’s photographs suggest narratives without fully revealing them, leaving the viewer to negotiate the space between personal experience, performance and observation.

Untitled #1 and #2
2001
From Double Exposure
Two digital pigment prints (LightJet), mounted on plexiglas, 50.5 x 60.5 cm (20 x 24 in) each. Edition of 45, signed verso of left image.
The two-part photographic work by Malerie Marder brings together two seemingly fleeting moments in which the human body enters into relation with its surroundings. A figure suspended in a hotel room and a blurred figure overlooking the expanse of Los Angeles create an intriguing tension between freedom and alienation. Precisely composed yet dreamlike, the images combine intimacy with cinematic distance, positioning the body between proximity, movement and dissolution.
