The Artist in Residency Kristiansand welcomes Dominika Márton
Dominika Márton (1999) is a Hungarian artist based in Budapest. During her studies at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, she participated in numerous group exhibitions and received several scholarships supporting her artistic and research practice, including the Peter and Irene Ludwig Foundation Scholarship. Her work explores the intersections of science fiction, climate change, mythology, and technological development through speculative visual narratives. In 2024, she presented her debut solo exhibition, Escaping the Landscape, at K11 Labor, focusing on climate adaptation and speculative plant migration.
Through her artistic practice, she also investigates the contemporary condition in which human-induced climatic events have become more terrifying than the belief systems and myths once created to explain unknown natural phenomena.
Reflecting on her time with us so far she writes:
My aim during the residency is to gather motifs that also emerge in the Norwegian landscape and folklore, taking forms that articulate humanity’s vulnerability and exposure to nature.
As part of the research process, I intend to document the local flora and fauna, treating them as central agents within my work (not as background elements, but as living actors), thereby supporting a post-anthropocentric perspective.
I seek to learn from local modes of thinking around the relationship between humans and nature, and to implement these insights into a work developed during or after the residency, drawing from the visual and formal vocabulary collected and developed throughout my stay.
