Cinthia Marcelle lives and works in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and graduated in Fine Arts from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (1996-1999).
Cinthia Marcelle uses video and photography to document the effects her interventions have on the usual order of things. Her actions create situations that challenge our notions of conventional behaviour by introducing humorous coincidences and connections.
