“Marla Bendini” was created in 2007 as an amalgamation between art and life, to explore multiple liminal identities and fluidity in perspectives. Her multidisciplinary approach towards this amalgamation has become a signature form of hypervisibilty, using the existing politicized body as a catalyst and vehicle for further discourse. She seeks to both engage and disarm audiences and to bridge the present to what she envisions to be an inevitable trans/post-human condition.
Her first self-titled exhibition “Marla.” (2008) was presented in a transsexual bar in Pattaya, Thailand. Sponsored by Fridae.com, Asia’s largest LGBT portal, she presented "Conversations between father and son" (2010), a multimedia installation-performance supported by The Substation Gallery, Singapore. She exhibited and performed in Supermarket 2012, Stockholm Independent Art Fair, sponsored by Riksutställningar / Swedish Exhibition Agency.
