Career and work
[edit]
Her work was first exhibited in the early 1990s. Her depictions of madwomen.[4] and female monsters revealed an interest in gender discourses -in deconstructions and propositions about women's identities, in the wake of what was one of the great discursive achievements of feminism of the 60th-70th and later.
Her oil painting, narrative and conceptual, progressively combined, from the first decade of 2000, with digital techniques in 2D and 3D, both still image and video. Simultaneously, new iconographies, related to the territory of science fiction and horror -without leaving behind references of the clinical imaginary and influences of certain moments in Art History as the Baroque or Surrealism- were consolidated in her images[5]
Marina Núñez represents posthuman identities through images of mutant, mestizo, multiple bodies. In philosopher José Jimenez's words, "the question of identity opens to the experience of metamorphosis: I am myself and my other. Body and image. Male and female. Rational and insane. Normal and monster. Native and foreign. Human being and machine. Earthling and alien."[6]
