-Maria Magnusson is an artist and filmmaker based in Gothenburg whose work explores the relationship between sound and moving images. She holds a Master’s degree in Photography and a Bachelor’s degree in Art History and Theory from the University of Gothenburg. Working with found footage and archival material, Magnusson combines analogue and digital filmic methods to investigate themes such as memory, dreams, and the unconscious. She has participated in artist residencies in Canada, Mexico, and California, where she explored various analogue photographic and ecological cinematic processes.
Site-specificity and collaboration with the landscape are recurring aspects of her practice, often connected to her upbringing on a farm in Norra Björke. Magnusson’s experimental films have been shown at festivals, galleries, and micro-cinemas, including the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, LA FilmForum, Echo Park Film Center, Alchemy Film Festival, Antimatter Film Festival, Images Festival, and Experiments in Cinema, among others.
