Biography

edit

She studied Hispanic philology at the University of Barcelona.

Model

edit

At age 17, she began to work as a model, appearing as the face of numerous advertising campaigns. She also worked as a model in Japan, Greece, England, Austria, and Germany.[3]

Television

edit

In 1986, at age 22, she made her debut before the cameras of Televisión Española, in the cultural contest Hablando claro, supported by the Royal Spanish Academy and designed by Professor Francisco Rico.[4] A year later she shared a set with Manuel Hidalgo on the daily magazine program Tal cual, where she covered film, theater, and music,[5] and with Isabel Gemio on Un verano tal cual.

In 1989 she accompanied Miguel de la Quadra-Salcedo in the first edition of Aventura 92, and in 1992 she presented the current events and interview show Peligrosamente juntas with Marisol Galdón.[6][7] That July and August, coinciding with the Olympic Games, she hosted the daily program Barcelona: Juegos de sociedad.[8] Along with Constantino Romero, she was the voice of the Barcelona Olympics at the opening and closing ceremonies, which were broadcast to 3.5 billion spectators from around the world. That November, she began appearing on La 2's news program El informe del día, directed by José Antonio Martínez Soler.[9] Martí directed the Television Department for the advertising and television production company Ovideo. Her productions included five episodes of the series Letter from Home for the American channel CBS.

After that experience, she moved away from the cameras for a time and did not return until 1998, when she shot a five-episode documentary on Spain for the BBC, Spain, Inside Out, which was broadcast in several English-speaking countries and received the RTVA award for best television program.[10] In 1999, this time on the Catalan regional station TV3, she presented OK!, a 90-minute daily magazine directed by Alfonso Arús, and No cal somiar, a travel program produced by Ramón Colom.

In January 2018 she was part of La generación del 87. Orígenes y destinos. 1987–2017, an exhibition of portraits of great photographers, where she was shown to have joined the 87 representatives of a generation that the magazine La Luna de Madrid included in a special issue in 1987.[11][12]

In 2005 she founded the publishing house Ediciones Atalanta with her husband, the editor Jacobo Siruela, and in 2011 she started a new artistic career as a photographer, publishing the book Cuaderno de noche,[13] a compilation of 65 dreams selected from thousands recorded in her eleven notebooks written since 2000.[14] This was accompanied in digital format by Espacios oníricos,[15] which photographically complements the world recreated in her dream journey.[16][17]

Her photographic work was shown in group exhibitions in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, and Paris from 2013 to 2014.[18][19] Her first solo exhibition took place at Àmbit Galeria d'Art in Barcelona during the spring of 2015.[20][21][22]

On 17 April 2016 she contributed a photo essay on beauty to the new magazine Fashion and Arts,[23] and on 9 July she opened an exhibition in the Patrick Domken gallery of Cadaqués.[24]

In April 2017 she was part of journalist María Fernández-Miranda's collective book No madres, telling the stories of women who do not want to or cannot be mothers and who make up the so-called Generación NoMo (No Mother Generation).[25]

 
Inka Martí today.

On November 12, 2019, three years after her last photographic presentation, she exhibited the exhibition Levantar el velo at the University of the Cloister of Sor Juana in the Historic center of Mexico City.[26] On September 23, 2022, and after her exhibition at the Cloister, she continued to delve into the work of this great 17th-century writer through El divino Narciso, presented at the Espai d'Exposicions Casinet in El Masnou, Barcelona. The myth of Narcissus and Echo, narrated by Ovid, is linked to this exhibition in what refers to the earthly fall of the human being in love with his reflection in nature.[27][28] On February 28, 2023, she participates in Madrid together with the speakers David Jiménez Torres, M. Ángeles Bonmatí and Marta Fernández in the colloquium organized by the Conde Duque Center for Contemporary Culture entitled "La vida bajo los párpados" on sleep and the "dream life".[29]

Biodiversity

edit

Simultaneously with her work as an editor based in Mas Pou, in Vilaür, Girona, as well as in Madrid, she combines her occupation directing a project ("Airhón project")[30][31] that combines biodiversity research with organic agriculture and livestock farming, in coexistence with large predators such as the wolf[32] and the imperial eagle, on a farm inherited from her husband through her mother's side in the Spanish town of Larrodrigo, in Salamanca.[28][33][34][35][36][37][38]
