Michael Marczewski was born in Huddersfield in 1987 and studied at Leeds College of Art between 2005 and 2006 and then at Middlesex University from 2006 to 2009.

He has recently been included in Free Range, The Old Truman Brewery, Tatlin’s Tower, Middlesex Project Space, London; Dry Dock 100 Miles Up, Middlesex Project Space, London Interim, LCAD, Leeds; Collaboration Show, Byam Shaw School of Art, London; Artention, The Rag Factory, London. He is about to begin a Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art & Design.

Marczewski’s films are concerned with the constraints created by a camera’s limited perspective. He employs two-dimensional still images appropriated from the world of cinema in order to construct three-dimensional miniature sets. This use of reconstructed imagery results in his films becoming replicas of the original, yet strangely removed and distinct. 14.7 Metre Psycho is a redelivery of Hitchcock’s 1960 thriller; stills from the film have been reconstructed into a three-dimensional set, which has then been filmed with a long unedited tracking shot that gradually reveals its own making.
