Marina Caneve explores the interaction between photography and research. She emphasises the stratification between disciplines and languages, and her projects mainly arise from questioning stereotyped and direct narratives.
She is currently researching the idea of ecosystems, both environmental and cultural.
She is a finalist for the Prix Pictet, and her work will tour internationally as part of an exhibition beginning at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. In 2023, Caneve received the Italian Council fellowship to complete On the Ground Among the Animals (2015-2024), promoted by FMAV (Fondazione Modena Arti Visive) and UGM (Maribor Art Gallery, Slovenia). This project has toured several venues as a solo exhibition including FMAV, UGM and CAP Centre d’art de Saint-Fons near Lyon, France. It was also shown at Paris Photo in 2024.
Her first project Are they Rocks or Clouds? has won numerous awards including the Giovane Fotografia Italiana, now the Luigi Ghirri Award, and the Dummy Award at Cortona on the Move, Italy, both in 2018. It was published as a photobook by Fw:Books and won the Bastianelli Award for best Italian photobook in 2020. It was also nominated for the Prix du livre at Les Rencontres d’Arles, France in 2020.
Caneve’s work has also been exhibited in institutions including Victoria & Albert Museum in London (2025 - upcoming), Fotohof in Salzburg, Austria (2019); La Triennale, Milan (2021) and MAXXI, Rome (2021 and 2023). Her work has entered major public and private collections, including CAP Saint-Fons, MAXXI in Rome, MuFoCo in Milan, ICCD in Rome, and Fondazione Ago in Modena, National Mountain Museum. In recent years, Caneve has developed a number of commissioned artistic research projects, among them Roma in the World (MAXXI), iNest (Ca’ Foscari University), Ankara: Italian Perspectives in the capital (Embassy of Italy in Ankara and Bilkent University), Tredici sguardi sui Musei Lombardia (Mufoco and Direzione Musei Lombardia), Atlante Sapienza 22 (MAXXI), Italia Inclusiva (MAECI), Atlante Architettura Contemporanea (MiC and MUFOCO), UNESCO (ICCD), and Marghera on Stage (Padiglione Venezia, La Biennale di Venezia).
Her major publications include On the Ground Among the Animals, published by Fw:Books (2024), selected for Best Dutch Book Designs in 2025; and CALAMITA/À, an investigation into the 1963 Vajont dam disaster in Italy, Fw:Books (2024) and Are they Rocks or Clouds?, Fw:Books (2019). Publications from commissioned artistic researches include Io sono contemporaneamente Dario Cimorelli Editore (2024), A fior di terra, self-published (2022), Di roccia, fuochi e avventure sotterranee, Quodlibet/Ghella (2021), The Valley Between Peaks and Stars, Quodlibet (2021), The Shape of Water Vanishes in Water, A+M (2018).
Caneve is co-founder of CALAMITA/À, an interdisciplinary platform focusing on catastrophes, awarded the Strategia Fotografia fellowship in 2023.
She combines her practice with teaching at LABA Art Academy in Brescia, Spazio Labo’ in Bologna, CISA Film Academy in Locarno and giving workshops for different institutions.
