BOLGERI & MARÍN is an artist duo formed by Carla Bolgeri (IT-CL) and Francisco Marín (CL), who lives in Santiago de Chile where they research and produce in the field of performance, music and visual arts. In their immersive performances they work with sound, body and visuality as interconnected physical entities that being in the process of movement transform space and reality. During more than 13 years of working together, they have been developing a methodology deployed in their creative processes of musical composition that now move towards an speculative model of relationships and affects between sound, body, matter and space. Exploring towards extra-human perspectives, their performances expand in the form of immersive experiences that overflow the perceptible space, appealing to an onto / eco-logical empathy between humans and the non-humans.

In 2018 they carried out a residency at NAVE Creation and Residency Center (CL) and after this process they premiered VOCALS their fisrst piece as a duo. In 2019 VOCALS was selected to participate at Ars Electronica Festival in the city of Linz, Austria. In 2019 they start a new research around the idea of sound as a force of movement, as a result of this they carry out a residency at _Un Espacio, Contemporary Architecture and Sculpture Center and presented the immersive performance M.A.S.S. (Massive Attack Sound System).

In October 2019, they were selected by Dance Umbrella and the British Council to participate in a Visiting Artists residency at the Dance Umbrella Festival, London, England. Then in December 2019 a residency is held at Arsenic - Center d'art scénique contemporain, Lausanne, Switzerland. In addition, in 2020 they created and produced the audio performance UNISON, a sound piece made as part of the Lo Fi project, an experimental exchange program for artists from Chile and the UK and supported by Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage of Chile, the British Council and Dance Umbrella Festival (UK).

In January 2021 they held a research residency at Oficinas METEORO Contemporary Art Center (CL) where they worked with the relationships between water and light and then they presented an opening to the public of this process.

Between 2019-2021 they developed the AURORA research, this work was embodied in an immersive 3D video-performance that was premiered at NAVE Creation and Residency Center.
