Marina Caneve (b.1988) is a photographer exploring how
our knowledge is shaped trough a research based and multidisciplinary approach
confronting with several perspectives from vernacular-naïve to
technological-scientific.
Caneve’s work was exhibited internationally and belongs to the collections of institutions such as MUFOCO, MiBACT, ICCD, National Mountain Museum, as well as private ones.
She combines her practice with teaching at Master IUAV in Photography and Spazio Labò.
With her project "Are they Rocks or Clouds?" she has won numerous awards including the Giovane Fotografia Italiana Award at Fotografia Europea Reggio Emilia, the Dummy Award at Cortona On The Move, the Bastianelli Award for the best Italian photobook and was nominated for the Prix du livre des Rencontres d’Arles.
With her ongoing research on freedom and movement in Europe - for the animals - she’s finalist of the C/O Berlin talent award (2021); previously she was invited to take part to Docking Station artist residency (2018).
In 2019 she is one of the five artists selected by Mufoco and MiBACT for Atlante Architettura Contemporanea and one of the four selected for a project of reactivation of the archives at the National Mountain Museum. In 2020 she is one of the five artists working with photography, chosen from UNESCO to work on the most recent italian sites entering the UNESCO World Heritage, and the resulting exhibition will travel around the world in the upcoming years.
Her major publications include Are they Rocks or Clouds? (Fw:Books), Di roccia, fuochi e avventure sotterranee (Quodlibet/Ghella), The Valley Between Peaks and Stars (Quodlibet), The Shape of Water Vanishes in Water (A+Medizioni).
She is co-founder of CALAMITA/À (2013-ongoing), an interdisciplinary platform with a focus on catastrophes and especially the Vajont one. Since 2020, member of MAPS agency.
