PROFILE
Cinty Ionescu is a VJ and Video Designer that lives and works in Bucharest, Romania.
She studied Politcal Sciences in Bucharest and Sociology in La Coruna, Spain.
She started working as a producer, than as a video-maker for the online by day, while VJ-ing by night at parties with Djs and than live bands (the most intense being Brum Conspiracy) in different clubs and festivals around Romania.
After spending a couple of years in the Bucharestian underground and doing numerous gigs with a different range of musicians (from rave parties to jazz to experimental and nu-jazz concerts), Cinty got involved in a new emerging underground scene of her town: theater. By then she decided focusing her skills and knowledge exclusively on the art scene with a strong social engagement, so she quit the advertising business.
Since 2009 Cinty Ionescu video designed over 10 theater productions on contemporary texts, being involved in the documentation process of Romania's recent history, working as a communitarian artist with the elder and autistic children, experiencing with a text-video installation in the form of a live multimedia poem performance (Eclectique Telescope) and being in bigger stage productions, her most recent ones being performed at the Romanian National Opera and the Odeon Theatre, both in Bucharest.
In 2012 Cinty documented and worked on a personal video project focused on her country, the people and their vibe, exploring different techniques for combining the mixed realities and feelings she sees and feels around her. The first phase of her project was an art gallery video installation (Reality Videograms @ Aiurart Gallery) and ROMANYEAH! a series of five live video shows presented in New York with the support of the Romanian Cultural Institute New York and other two in Stuttgart within Camp'12, a festival for visual music.
Cinty Ionescu presented her work (both theater and music related) in numerous national and international stages and festivals. In August 2011 she was awarded the Excellence Award for Outstanding Video Design at the Fringe New York City for the work in Romanian play Nils' Fucked Up Day by Peca Stefan, produced by the MONDAY Theater at Green Hours.
