MARCIN MOTYL
Marcin Motyl is a multidisciplinary artist and performer whose work bridges movement, video, performance, and installation. His practice explores the interplay between realism and surrealism, using movement as a foundation to craft deeply conceptual and visually captivating experiences. By merging physicality with cutting-edge visual technologies, Marcin creates immersive works that invite audiences into boundless spaces of interpretation and imagination. Currently, he is delving into the world of live visuals, blending dynamic imagery with performance to push the limits of contemporary art.
Marcin’s artistic journey began at the Warsaw Ballet School, where he honed his foundation in classical and contemporary dance. After graduating, he collaborated with renowned choreographers and directors, including Ohad Naharin, Veronika Riz, Jo Strømgren, Mariusz Trelinski, Ewa Wycichowska and Iwona Pasinska, gaining valuable experience that shaped his understanding of performance as a multidisciplinary medium.
In 2022, Marcin completed his studies at the University of the Arts in Poznan, earning a degree in Intermedia. His academic work encompassed art history, new media, artistic production, and performative practices. During his time there, he was mentored by influential professors such as Marta Smolińska and Piotr Kurka, further refining his artistic philosophy and technical skills.
Throughout his career, Marcin has consistently sought opportunities to expand his creative horizons. He has participated in numerous international workshops led by prominent figures like Franck Chartier, Gabriela Carrizo, Claire Fristot / A-li-ce and Yuval Pick, deepening his knowledge of movement and interdisciplinary creation.
Marcin’s projects live at the intersection of conceptual depth and visual storytelling, inviting audiences to engage with art in ways that are personal and transformative. Through his portfolio, which includes critically acclaimed works such as "SIATA," "DAY ZERO," "NEW VERSION," and "SOLO TEN," Marcin crafts a unique dialogue between form and content. These projects have been presented across the globe, earning recognition in cultural hubs like Japan, Germany, France, Poland, China, and Brazil.
Marcin’s fascination with live visuals and live performance represents a new frontier in his practice. By merging movement with real-time visual creation, he aims to redefine the audience’s experience of performance, immersing them in worlds where art, technology, and emotion converge.
