Tosca Schift is an artist working with film, performance, objects and cinematic installations. Her practice explores the visceral body and ancestral narratives, engaging questions of identity, heritage, and spirituality. Through embodied artistic research, she examines her colonial family history, psychic fragmentation, and displacement.
Schift completed the Master of Film: Artistic Research in and Through Cinema, following a bachelor’s degree in Product Design. Her material driven praxis, rooted in skill based crafting, shapes a sensitive attunement to the camera as an extension of the body and to material as a carrier of memory.
