Marianna Rothen

Marianna Rothen (b. 1982, Canada; based in New York) is a photographer and filmmaker whose staged, dreamy tableaux—a blend of retro glamour and narrative unease—explore femininity, identity, and the subtle mechanics of power. Once a model herself, she now subverts the male gaze with phantom-like mannequins and spectral set pieces, crafting visual stories that feel both nostalgic and unsettling.
