Isabel Brison studied and established herself as a visual artist in Lisbon before moving to Sydney in 2014, where she now works primarily as a web developer. She holds a BFA in Sculpture (University of Lisbon) and an MA in Communication Science/Media Art (New University of Lisbon). Her solo shows include H Henry and his Hat (2022) at Cooperativa Árvore, Porto as part of the Transeuropa festival, “Relatório Incompleto Sobre os Usos do Impossível” (2013) at Next Room, Lisboa and “O Futuro da Vida Urbana em Ruínas (2012)” at galeria Carlos Carvalho Arte Contemporânea, Lisboa. In 2021 she created the online project The Adventurous Lives of Lisbon Statues, with Teatro do Bairro Alto. Recent group exhibitions include Interferences: Emerging Urban Cultures (2022) and “Expanded: Fiction and Fabrication in Post-Digital Architectural Photography” (2019) at MAAT Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, Lisbon and The Common Soil (2020, online) with Nuno Rodrigues de Sousa at CHAUFFEUR, Sydney. She also talks occasionally on topics such as media art, cyberculture, and, more recently, web architecture and accessibility. Her work is represented in many private and public collections such as como a Fundação Coca-Cola, Espanha, NOVO Banco, Lisboa, Portugal e Fundação PLMJ, Lisboa, Portugal.

Isabel Brison attempts to use photomontage as a tool for manipulating space in a projectual sense, not limited to the creation of fictions but focused instead on considering the unofficial use potential of certain places. These works are sometimes accompanied by texts that describe in raw and unadorned terms their process of creation and the intentions underlying it.
