Marnie Weber’s multidisciplinary practice encompasses performance, film, video, sculpture, collage, music and costuming. By combining her own mythology of creatures, monsters, animals and female characters with costuming on film and stage sets; she creates her own fictional narratives of passion, transformation, and discovery. Weber creates uncanny worlds that exist in a realm between fantasy and reality, and invites viewers into an exploration of the subconscious. Using fairytale-like imagery, she places women in positions of power and primacy creating a backdrop as a site of transformation and magic.

Most recently her work was exhibited at Heidi Gallery Berlin, Gavlak Los Angeles, as well as the 2020 Busan Biennale in South Korea. Additionally, she has had video screenings and performances throughout the U.S., Asia and Europe.
