Research into the body and its relationship with space is recurrent in the work of Rio de Janeiro artist Celina Portella, who uses choreography to manipulate the boundaries between the exterior and interior of the painting, supporting it with the weight of her own body.

Playing with dance and self-image at the same time, the artist creates fun forms of interaction with the viewer from the moment the blue rope, portrayed in the photograph, is materialized and goes beyond the limits of the frame.
