Profile
Tosca Schift is a Dutch visual artist whose practice spans video art, installation, performance, and expanded cinema. She explores the visceral body, the multidimensionality of space and time, and ancestry—addressing themes of identity, heritage, and spirituality. Through a method of spiritual searching, Schift illuminates and unfolds the complexities of her colonial family history while, in parallel, reflecting on its broader socio-political manifestations.
Schift completed a Master of Film: Artistic Research in and Through Cinema, following a Bachelor’s in Product Design. Her hands-on making background has nurtured a sensitive approach to the materiality of life and shaped the way she works with the camera-body, spatial perception, moving images, and archival material.
