About


Emma Scarafiotti is a multidisciplinary Artist and Art Director, working across the fields of films, performance and digital arts. She obtained a BA in Design and Art Direction at LCC, London, and an MA in Visual Art in Milano. Her artistic practice involves experimenting with various media, ranging from film to photography, sound, and performance. These different forms of expression allow her to convey the same concept across multiple dimensions, offering diverse interpretations.

Her research focuses on the interconnection between the human and the non-human. Her research begins with the body as a site of perception and experience, through which she explores interspecies entanglements, weaving connections between human and non-human communities—animals, plants, and other living beings—while questioning the boundaries of gender and species. Her practice has mainly involved the collaboration with dancers as her stories often need to be told through the intimate and intricated language of bodies.
