Marianna & Daniel O’Reilly (UK)
Marianna was born in Russia in 1974 and Daniel in the UK in 1979. Having met while completing their Master Degrees in Fine Art in London (Royal Academy Schools of Arts and Chelsea College of Art respectively) they have been collaborating since 2004 and developed multi-media installations, published artist’s books, participated and curated art exhibitions, screenings, debates and performances. Currently working in the new media they have participated in a variety of Film Festivals and Screenings in the UK and abroad.
The artists couple found their individual way of dealing artistically with moving images whereby the language and the combination of images and spoken words get more and more relevance in the most recent works.

Delivery, 8:00, 2008
Capital, 8:00, 2008
