Yuri Marder was born in New York City in 1964. His family immigrated to America in the 1920s and 1940s to escape war and persecution in Europe. His work is completely infused and inspired by his family's past. His work Ellis Island explores the empty spaces and forgotten past of the injustices and torments faced by immigrants in the early 20th century. His work for the Exile Project explored the personal experiences of people living in countries other than their homeland and adjusting to the life/differences, especially focusing on the language change.
