My name is Michalina Marta Cap and I'm a Conceptual Creatress primarily interested in the ‘in-between’ meanings. I invite humans to examine their preconceived notions about reality and actively challenge them while interacting with my works.

Born in Międzyrzecz, Poland. I earned my BA in Filmmaking at Kingston University London and my MA in Film at Queen’s University Belfast. Despite trying to drop the habit formed during my education, I still can't help but use video in my work.

Based in Berlin, I'm currently expanding and deepening my practice as a part of Culterim | Independent Class.

I'm open to your message:
