Flavio Graff

FLAVIO GRAFF is an award-winning MULTIMEDIA ARTIST and producer based in London. He received the GOLDEN TRIGA for the installation The Perfect Cook for the Souls of our World, in the Prague Quadrennial of Performance, Design and Space in 2011. Since 2001 he has been designing, creating and producing both his own works and for prestigious production companies. His work combines costumes, installation, performance, videoart, film, music, dance, poetry and dramaturgy where the focus is the experience that can emerge from creative action between the audience, subjective space and narratives. He has developed concepts about different kinds of interactive participation and how it can stimulate the receiver’s perceptions and their own creative processes. This artistic research has resulted in striking contemporary artworks with new developments focusing on the subjective experience.

His most recent projects are the screenplay for the feature film Saleswoman of Illusions, in partnership with the production company Cine and Clovis Mello - in the funding process; the installation and costumes for the interactive show Jamboree by Oily Cart. He also created the installation and performance Five Years based on David Bowie’s album Ziggy Stard...
