Michalina Marta Cap is a conceptual artist primarily interested in the ‘in-between’ meanings. She focuses on inviting the audience to examine their preconceived notions about reality and actively challenge them while interacting with her works.

Born in Międzyrzecz, Poland. She earned her BA in Filmmaking at Kingston University London and her MA in Film at Queen’s Belfast. During her second semester, she realised she was no longer interested in telling stories, she would much rather evoke experiences.


Currently based in Berlin she is responding to her calling of becoming an acclaimed conceptual art creatress.
