Priscila Fernandes

Born in Coimbra, Portugal in 1981, Priscila Fernandes now lives and works both in Porto, Portugal and Dublin.

Through the process of personality fragmentation, Priscila Fernandes explores concepts of identity, authorship and autobiography by creating different heteronyms or alter egos – characters endowed withtheir own biographies and personalities that differ from her own. Ana Garcini develops her practice by researching in the scientificfield. More than establishing a link between Art and Science, her purpose is to comment on present society and its system of rules; the development of new technologies; the conquest of science and how that affects us in daily life.
