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.
