Mariana Castillo Deball

Mariana Castillo Deball (1975, Mexico) lives and works in Berlin. Working in installation, sculpture, photography and drawing, Deball explores the role objects play in our understanding of identity and history. She takes a kaleidoscopic approach to her work, creating rich and resonant images that arise from the collision and recombination of these different languages. Deball holds an MA in Fine Art from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (Mexico City) and completed a postgraduate program at the Jan Van Eyck Academie in Maastricht (NL). She has presented her work internationally at amongst others MoMA, New York; dOCUMENTA (13), Kassel; the Venice Biennale ; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Institute of Contemporary Art, London; MACBA, Barcelona; de Appel arts centre, Amsterdam; Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Oaxaca, Oaxaca de Juárez; Kunsthalle Lissabon,; Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin.
