Martina Mrongovius creates holograms of urban adventures and strange architectural encounters. Her holographic works are a form of urban narrative - compositions of multiple perspectives and intertwined dynamics. Using hundreds of photographs these scenes are structured by emotive and imaginative forces. The installations she creates resonate with the poetics of experience captured in the holographic images.

As well as making installations with holograms Martina wrote the comic book Singularity and comic book adventure game The Wave Collapses with her sister Alice and has collaborated on art making of all sorts.

Martina is an assistant professor of holography and light-art at the Kunsthochschule für Medien, Köln and is the project director the Center for the Holographic Arts, New York. She has created projects with the Korean HOLOcenter, Seoul (since 2007) and Flux Factory, New York (since 2004). She is finishing a PhD about her holographic practice with the Spatial Information Architecture Laboratory, RMIT University, Melbourne.
