Marie Jamil Schwab (*1996) is a Visual Artist from Germany. She studied the Fine Arts under Prof. Björn Dahlem at Bauhaus University Weimar and Intermedia Art under Prof. Tokihiro Sato at Tokyo University of the Arts.
Her artistic practice revolves around the exploration of her body and spirit to rediscover the interconnectedness to nature and the elements. In order to generate artistic potential, she pushes herself to her limits - by exposing herself to the cold, by doing breathwork or by challenging her fear. The basic impulse is the evokement of altered states of consciousness and to sense the reciprocal relationship between human and nature. These experiences give rise to video works, photographs and installations that open portals to her perception.
Currently, she lives and works in Tokyo, Japan.
