Priscila Fernandes as Ana Garcini

Four is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new work by Ana Garcini, one of the heteronyms created by Priscila Fernandes. Through the process of personality fragmentation, Priscila Fernandes explores concepts of identity, authorship and autobiography by creating different heteronyms or alter egos - characters endowed with their own biographies and personalities that differ from her own.

Ana Garcini develops her practice by researching in the scientific field. 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.

In the series Drosophila Melanogaster, Ana Garcini created a formula to translate the genetic code into music. Furthermore, she uses this formula to transpose a fragment of DNA from a fruit fly into music (fruit flies are the most commonly used model organisms in biology and scientifically known as Drosophila Melanogaster). These works make part of an investigative process to find differences; here genetics is used as a metaphor to arrive to the individuality of each one of us.

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

Opening hours: Thursday 4pm-9pm, Friday & Saturday 1pm-6pm
