Celina Portella Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, b. 1977

Celina Portella (Rio de Janeiro, 1977) establishes dialogues between architecture, cinema and performance, characterizing her artistic investigation in the fields of body representation and its relation to space. Using her own body as an object of experimentation, the artist combines artisanal practices in videos, photographs and objects that challenge each media and the perception of the observer.
