Marina Noskova (Shindenkova) is an artist working with film and photography. In her practise she explores the topics of gender identety, the idea of nationality and power in contemporary setup. Exposing and objectiving her own expirience through texts, motion and static pictures, she uses camera in as a mechanism of spectating having its own POV and attention towards the artist-the spectated.  

The nature of a female social construct is built upon constant control, influence, following, spectating. Women body and mind are being controlled and infliuenced by an outside force that exists in their own heads as well as in the outside. In her practice Marina gives up towards the influence, adresses to it and documents the process.
