Clara Ianni’s work explores the relationship between art and politics. Her practice relies on the use of different media such as interventions, videos, installations, and texts, addressing the dialogue between performance and material culture. Her interest lies in examining class and labor issues within the artistic context as well as the politics of history.

Since the beginning of her trajectory, Cinthia Marcelle has been interested in diverse artistic processes, seeking the raw material of her work in social relations and the everyday chaos that surrounds her.

The artist develops drawings, collages, photographs, paintings, and installations. Her works engage with both urban and natural environments and carry a temporal character, evident in the exploration of repetition and the accumulation of waste—such as dust and dirt. Through her work, Marcelle accentuates and disrupts, creating interventions that propose a formal reorganization of everyday objects and situations.

Video production is also a significant aspect of Cinthia Marcelle’s oeuvre, whether in pieces solely authored by her or in collaborative works. Her most frequent partner is filmmaker Tiago Mata Machado, with whom she created the Divine Violence Trilogy and the film NAU / NOW. This film was featured in Marcelle’s participation in the last Venice Biennale, where she received an Honorable Mention for National Participation with her Hunting Ground installation.

Her films introduce subtle shifts in how we view the world. Often characterized by fixed and open framing, they organize the space, offering the necessary distance to observe landscapes where choreographies—whether of people or machines—unfold.

Strongly connected to performance, Cinthia Marcelle’s films explore themes of origin, time, and language as central issues. They also investigate cyclical time through repetitive actions without an apparent practical purpose, while simultaneously commenting on the social contexts of their time. Form and abstraction evoke the pleasure of observation, but form is also a serious tactic. It can be unsettling, ruinous, and brutal.
