Isabel Brison’s third exhibition at the Carlos Carvalho Contemporary Art Gallery presents new works that use digital manipulation of images as a critical tool for a reinterpretation of urban space. The artist creates fictional spatial environments, employing artistic strategies that go beyond a simple representation of the real. By manipulating and distorting reality, Brison offers a new way of understanding and visualizing architecture, enabling a critical reading of urban transformations and the cultural dynamics of the city. In this context, photography ceases to be merely a means of capturing reality and becomes a tool for critique and reimagination. Through digital manipulation, Brison not only documents but also questions the power structures and social dynamics that shape the urban environment. This research provides a profound reflection on the relationship between space and the methodology of urbanism. In this way, the artist’s work goes beyond documentary recording, proposing a new way of perceiving the city and questioning its transformations.
