Born 1977, artist lives and works in Groningen, the Netherlands.
Marjan Buning studied at the School for Photography in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands.
Besides being a photographer Marjan Buning is also a movie maker. She shoots stop-motion movies with an anologue movie camera. And she also builds installations using recycled materials.
All photographic works of Marjan Buning are analogue photographs. She has been taking pictures for over 20 years. Marjan Buning is a well known artist in the international lomography community. In some of her photoworks and movies her friends appear to act out her sometimes bizarre, absurd and humorous thoughts. See : The alien Roadtrip (the movie).
She also likes to go outside to make portraits of strangers that she meets in the streets. She frequently takes snapshots and writes absurd thoughts about the subjects that she shoots. See: Marjan's Alledaagse avonturen.
Through her work as an artist she wants to show people the humor of life and the small things that unite us.
