"I came to the medium of film because of its open potential," writes Daria Martin, "its invitation to travel through time and space within an imagined world." She calls her work a cinematic expression of the aesthetic impulses manifested in Joseph Cornell's shadow boxes; her films assemble memories, reveries, scholarly research, and imported citations into fragmented totalities. She values the contradictions of the medium of film, in particular the tension between the private fantasy it stimulates and the public physicality on which it depends.
