In 2018, Marina won the Premio Giovane Fotografia Italiana at Fotografia Europea for her project ‘Are They Rocks or Clouds?’. Her book dummy of the project was nominated for the Unseen and La Fàbrica–Photo London awards. The work, chosen by Lesley A. Martin of Aperture, went on to win the 2018 edition of the Cortona On The Move Dummy Award. Thanks to these nominations and the success the work received, Marina published Are They Rocks or Clouds? (2019) with Fw:Books and dutch book designer, Hans Gremmen.

In 2019, she was one of the five winners of the Atlante Architettura Contemporanea commission by MiBAC and MUFOCO; this project aims to create a photographic archive of contemporary Italian architecture. The same year, Marina was one of the four winners of the iALp commission for the Museo Nazionale della Montagna, in Turin.

Marina co-founded CALAMITA/À in 2013, a research platform that includes international artists focusing on the topics of catastrophes, changes, memories and politics. The CALAMITA/Á project takes its name from the 1963 catastrophe involving the destruction of several villages in northern Italy when the water of the nearby Vajont dam overflowed as it was being filled. In 2016, she curated the publication of The Walking Mountain /CALAMITA/Á.

In 2018, Marina co-founded, with Gianpaolo Arena and the Vulcano agency, the Osservatorio Cortina 2021; an artistic research project that investigates, through the use of photography, the territory and history where the Cortina 2021 Alpine Ski World Championships are being celebrated. Marina currently teaches the Photography Master’s degree programme at the Iuva University of Venice.
