Tetsuya Maruyama (Yokohama, 1983) is an artist whose interdisciplinary practice includes film, performance, sound, installation, and everything in between. His work re-contextualizes found, banal materials and textures as a liminal record of everyday observations. He holds a degree in Architecture from the University of Buffalo (2007), a certificate in Image and Sound Editing and Editing from the Darcy Ribeiro Film School (2016), and is currently pursuing a master’s degree at EBA-UFRJ. His work has been widely exhibited at festivals, museums, and galleries, including Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival, MUTA, Bienal de Cerveira, Kurtzfilm Hamburg, Dobra, Dresdner Schmalfilmtage, Chicago Underground Film Festival, Crossroads, Istanbul International Experimental Film Festival, Process, Mono no Aware, Kunstbezirk Stuttgart, Bienal de la Imagen en Movimiento, Cámara Lúcida, MAM RJ, Cinemateca Uruguaya, among others. Maruyama currently lives in Rio de Janeiro, where he founded Megalab, a laboratory for experimentation in art/cinema by artists, and continues to work in his proximity to nature.
