Tess Martin is a Rotterdam-based film and visual artist working across animation, installation, and expanded cinema. Her practice explores how time, memory, and place can be revealed through handcrafted animations and site-specific works.
Raised across shifting cultural contexts, her work reflects an ongoing interest in how belonging and identity are formed through perception, relation, and memory. Many of her projects exist simultaneously as films and installations, often incorporating sculptural elements and soundtracks to create intimate time-based experiences.
Her work has been presented internationally in both film and exhibition contexts, including festivals, museums, and artist residencies across Europe, North America, and Asia.
In this episode, we discuss Tess' film 1976: Search for Life.
*Errata - I mistakenly identified Holst's Jupiter as the "Surprise" symphony when it's actually Haydn's Jupiter. Holst did write a Jupiter for "The Planets," but it isn't the same piece. Mozart also wrote a Jupiter, but it's not mentioned except here for clarity.
