Judit Kalmár, Céline Coste Carlisle

Céline Coste Carlisle obtained her degree in Art and Mixed Media at the ESAV (now HEAD), in Geneva, having started experimenting with cinema and video art as part of her academic practice. She was part of the team of the Geneva Opera House, where she worked with some of the industry's legendary set and light designers like Hiroshi Teshigahara, Pier Luigi Pizzi and Wolfgang Göbbel.

She moved to Portugal in 1999 and her project of collecting and photographing collages of plastics washed up in the tide at Guincho beach won acclaim from the Tribune De Genève art section, as well as being exhibited by a local NGO to raise awareness on the subject.

In 2018, she took part in the “Triple Grace” exhibition at Lisbon’s Pálacio da Independência where she exhibited her newest work inspired by the making of the documentary “Silêncio – Vozes de Lisboa”.
