Cinthia Marcelle lives and works in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and graduated in Fine Arts from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (1996-1999).

Marcelle uses video and photography to document the effects that her interventions have on the usual order of things. Particularly, Marcelle’s work is inspired by the chaos and the turmoil of possibilities which can be found in everyday life. She tries to gain a distance from this chaos and reorganise the disorder formally. Her actions create situations that challenge our notions of conventional behaviour by introducing humorous coincidences and connections. 

Marcelle's work has been part of significant group exhibitions including the second New Museum Triennial, New York (2012), Tate Level 2 Gallery, London (2012), the Bienal de Lyon (2007), Panorama da Arte Brasileira, São Paulo (2007) and Madrid (2008) and the IX Bienal de Habana (2006). Her solo exhibitions include Ikon Gallery, Birmingham (2008), Box 4 Gallery, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2007), Stride Gallery, Calgary, Canada (2005) and Museu de Arte da Pampulha, Brazil (2004). 

Cinthia Marcelle was awarded relevant International Prizes such as the Future Generation Prize from the Victor Pinchuck Foundation in 2011 and the TrAIN artist in residency award at Gasworks, London, in 2009.
