Since the end of the 1990s, through her videos, sculptures, photographs, art installations, and performances, the internationally acclaimed Brazilian artist Cinthia Marcelle (b. 1974) has been critically examining the established and hierarchical social structures upon which our daily lives are built. Marcelle uses collective action as the medium through which to break down rigid mechanisms and organisational forms and to renegotiate new ones. This publication is the first comprehensive monograph of Marcelle's work and provides multidimensional and analytical insight into her work, reflecting the complex societal discourse it explores. It was created through the artist's close cooperation with the Museum Marta Herford and the Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (MASP).
